Riverbend Road

First love at age 15.  

Driving in the night I hear the river call below
Where shadows roam
Moving through the mountains and the moonbeams soft and white   
On a summer's night
I remember your arms around me
And a song from the radio
You took my hand and we danced out on the road

I'm following water and time
On a river highway
Driving past our long ago
Love still grows on Riverbend Road

Riding with the freedom of the wind tossing my hair
In the misty air
Moving past the canyons and the legends of the caves
Above the waves
For you, I surrendered my soul to you  
With sand inside my guitar
We watched the river take off into the stars

I'm following water and time
On a river highway
Driving past our long ago
Love still grows on Riverbend Road

Young dreams flow
And the heart still knows
And the voices of the river call out   
Midnight glows
And the tall grass blows
With the ghosts of us still around

I'm following water and time
On a river highway
Driving past our long ago
Love still grows on Riverbend Road
Love still grows on Riverbend Road
