Who can say?

I don’t know why

or what will come my way

oh you’ll never hear me say

That anyone’s bound by fate
 

 

So look into the water

As the water rushes on by

And the wind in the willows

Calls the sun down from the sky
 

 

I could just slip away

See where the story goes
 

 

Will this stay?

Or will it up and carry on its way?

oh lean in to watch it play

reflection shimmers away
 

 

Wingbeats brush against you

whisperin’ softly on your chest

and the rollin’ hillside murmuring

This heart just won’t get any rest
 

 

Let me just slip away

See where the story goes
 

It’s okay

From the path you are allowed to stray

heed the beckon of the day

No one can lay you claim
 

 

Tiptoe rustlin’ foxtail

Warmin’ the riverstones underfoot

And the flicker calls come tumbling in

from the bellflowers by the wood
 

 

Could I just slip away?

See where the story goes
 

 

I’ll let this roll by

Flutter and a sigh

Would it be alright?

To softly slip into the stream
 

 

I could just drift away

See where the story goes
