abbey lincoln - the river (1997) lyrics

[intro]
a sp_ce traveler on a mission to scout the earth
landed where the four winds blow
and when she went to make her report
this is what she said

[verse 1]
there’s a river on the freeway
where the four winds blow
from the city to the countryside
winding to and fro
in the morning and the evening
the tide begins to swim
and the red boat runs and races
and it’s signaled by a bell

[verse 2]
a hollow metal vessel
and it vibrates and it rings
and the rivеr runs and races
to bring the many things
it carries on thе surface
of a running, racing tide
there’s a river on the freeway
you can take it for a ride
[verse 3]
all you have to do is enter
from some designated lane
and you ride ’til your off ramp
signals that you’re home again
and the river starts receding
and it murmurs now and then
in the lull before the coming
of the tide that’s rushing in

[verse 4]
there’s a river on the freeway
and the river has a song
and it’s based upon a ditty
and it’s murmured by the throng
there’s a river on the freeway
and it’s signaled by a bell
there’s a river on the freeway
sha ba da da da da doh doh doh doh doh doh doh doh doh

[verse 5]
sometimes the night is silent
for a moment there’s no sound
except perhaps a cricket
beeping on the ground
or a fuming zooming motor
an engine now and then
doing ninety miles an hour
breaking limits, getting in
[verse 6]
there’s a river on the freeway
and the river has a song
and it’s based upon a ditty
and it’s murmured by the throng
there’s a river on the freeway
and it’s signaled by a bell
there’s a river on the freeway
underneath a magic spell

[outro]
hey
i’m playing with you
you better give me my money
i want my money
