Lyrics

RIVER GONNA TALK ©David G Smith
Blue Jay was a friend of mine
He used to sing to me all the time
There was his reputation but then again
He’d sing to me and I’d sing to him

I’m down here by the river
Sittin’ beneath a tree
I’m gonna listen to the river
River gonna talk to me

Summer wind was a friend of mine
From the ocean to the mountain pine
Used to send a soothing rain
Now it’s flood and hurricane

Mother Earth was a friendly face
With her fertile beauty and her patient ways
I could throw her seeds from a burlap sack
I gave to her and she gave back

I wonder if those days are gone
Blue Jay he don’t know his song
Summer wind won’t keep me cool
Mother Earth what are we doing to you

I’m down here by the river
Sittin’ beneath a tree
I was gonna listen to the river
But the river won’t talk…
The river won’t talk to me
