River Rolls Lyrics by The Black Lillies

Stranger To Me

2018

Here I am so far from home, sound of the river got me hanging on
To the dreams and songs of yesterday, one more night I'll be on my way
Down that highway through the memories, mile after mile a million trees
Moon comes up and sun goes down, searching for that southern sound
I can hear her calling up around the bend, down that road and back again
She’s a rock like the hands of time, steady and strong tell me no lies
Where the mountains meet the sky, old as time sweet by and by
It’s been so long since I’ve seen home, chasing rainbows with a guitar song
And the river rolls on, down that winding way
Through the backroads of your memory, forever and a day
Listen you can hear her sing, gone tomorrow and here today
You know it’s always been that way
And the river rolls on
Troubles come and troubles go;
Hard times, good times, and rock ’n’ roll
Some things change and some remain, one more night and one more day
One more day to live your life, walk like water through the sands of time
You know it’s just like they say, rain’s gonna come on a sunny day
And the river rolls on, down that winding way
Through the backroads of your memory, forever and day
Listen you can hear her sing, gone tomorrow and here today
You know it’s always been that way
And the river rolls on
I can hear her calling up around the bend, down that road and back again
She’s a rock like the hands of time, steady and strong tell me no lies
And the river rolls on, down that winding way
Through the backroads of your memory, forever and a day
Listen you can hear her sing, gone tomorrow and here today
You know it’s always been that way
And the river rolls on
