I said I know a place
Of solitary grace & pleasure
We climbed a narrow trail
I promised to unveil a treasure
When you saw the high cliff
And the ivory water falling
You were like a child with eyes aglow
Catch the river spirit
Can you hear it calling?


CHORUS:
Ah your step & swirl
Little dancing girl
I love to see you curl & sway
Trace a pirouette
Maybe I'll forget
That all this world is only wind & clay
Forever River dance away.

 
The falls & silver pool
A moment of renewal was ours
We swam into the spray
Washed the world away... soul showers
When the clouds divided
And a sudden sunlight touched you
I could see a fire you held inside
Pretty city daughter
Taste the wild water...


CHORUS:
Ah your step & swirl
Little dancing girl
I love to see you curl & sway
Trace a pirouette
Maybe I'll forget
That all this world is only wind & clay
Forever River dance away.


Ah your step & swirl
Little dancing girl
I love to see you curl & sway...
