Greg Brown
Sailing down my golden river
SAILING DOWN MY GOLDEN RIVER;
SUN AND WATER ALL MY OWN
YET I WAS NEVER ALONE;
SUN AND WATER, OLD LIFE GIVERS
I’LL HAVE THEM WHER’ER I ROAM
AND I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME
SUNLIGHT GLANCING ON THE WATER
LIFE AND DEATH ARE ALL MY OWN
AND I WAS NEVER SLONE
LIFE TO RAISE MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS
GOLDEN SPARKLES IN THE FOAM
AND I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME
SAILING DOWN THIS WINDING HIGHWAY
TRAVELERS FROM HEAR AND FAR
YET I WAS NEVER ALONE
EXPLORING ALL THE LITTLE BY-WAYS
SIGHTING ALL THE DISTANT STARS
AND I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME
