River Of Time - Jorma Kaukonen

A river of time, it marks our life

From birth to death, there is no rhyme

A chance to meet, along the way

Will we go or, will we stay?

There is no sound of, tolling bells

The task on earth is living well

I dreamt my grandma, held my hand

Felt the stranger, in this land

Her ancient voice called, out to me

And have your choices, plain to see

It?

s time to move on, down the line

All you floatin?

in a river of time

The banks were shrouded, in the fog

From the shore, a barkin?

dog

Recalled a time, long forgot

The flowers there, Forget-Me-Nots

I saw a wave from, friends of mine

As I rowed down the river of time

It might be nice I, could have said

To speak to loved ones, long since dead

Lives still flow there, on the shore

And I shan?

t see them, anymore

Not on this side, but in dreams

And dreams aren?

t always what they seem

The river flows, it?

s just begun

My daughter follows, and my son

When my time ends, I?

ll rest on land

And while I slumber, they?

ll still stand

They?

re a part of that endless line

We all still float in a river of time

As I float through, another day

There are no waves to, rock my way

Water lifts, my spirits high

And in this moment, you and I

Feel the current, flow so fine

As we float down a river of time
