I walk beside the river
The place I lived before
Today I feel the water
It’s like opening a door
I see my lonely footsteps
As my dog just follows me
Attachment is a human thing
That may never let us be
I love the place I walk on
But I miss the home I knew
These feelings are so precious
They guide me in what to do
I hear the river flowing
As I smell the winter rye
And taste the living wind
Still I dream to touch the sky
I want to be a worthy man
Live courageously and bold
So now I walk beside my dog
And let us both grow old
