My love is like a small river

My love is like a small river

It sways and moves thru you

My love is like a small river

Drifting away from you

Count the times I’m with it

sometimes see it too

Call the arms that reach for

sway and turn with you

The way it calls is true

I try and tell you something

that speaks in a line or two

Talk to the winter swimming

Its cold

its moving too

Your words they linger always

Your simple and strong and true

Your smile it brings me sunshine

Sometimes when I’m not with you

My love, it’s sometimes with you

These tears that drip on sidewalks

They drain on subways too

The rain that sings

in sunshine

walks all over you

The words they’re easy for me

When I come in touch with you
