Where the River Bends Lyrics

I remember a night when the air was still

Standing by the water just chasing a thrill

You told me some things can't be undone

Like rivers carving paths once they've begun

Where the river bends we don't always see

How the currents pull or where they'll lead

One step to the left or one to the right

Changes the road or the way of the light

There were signs I missed too small to see

A hand on my shoulder a chance to be free

I took the long road stubborn as stone

But the river kept rolling pulling me home

Where the river bends we don't always see

How the currents pull or where they'll lead

One step to the left or one to the right

Changes the road or the way of the light

It's a mystery now what might have been

The lives we don't live the roads we can't win

But I've learned to trust the winding streams

The hidden maps and the in-between

So here I stand by the water's edge

Looking back on the words we said

I let go of what I'll never know

And watch the river's gentle flow

Where the river bends we don't always see

How the currents pull or where they'll lead

One step to the left or one to the right

Changes the road or the way of the light

So here's to the turns I didn't expect

To the drift and the sway the years I reflect

In the bends and breaks I found my way—

Where the river bends that's where I'll stay
