Thoughts like scattered leaves
And time stops here on the delta
While they dance, while they dance
While they dance, while they dance
While they dance, while they dance
And time stops here on the delta
Slowed in mid fall into the streams
And someone keeps thinking in my sleep
While they dance, while they dance
Of fast running rivers of choice and chance
But lately he's crazy for the deep
Of fast running rivers of choice and chance
I love the child who steers this riverboat
And the river seems dreamlike in the daytime
