BESIDE THE RIVER by Dieter Hoffmann (dieter_hoffmann@yahoo.com) Well I like the river like to see it flow Feeling its strength my eyes begin to glow I sit there beside it just being myself I close my eyes and I hear the river tell Beside the river there is paradise Not that of the bible but also very nice You feel the power that nature can have You feel alive and you notice death I hear the birds make sounds of their own See the fish jump and it's all like in a song Doesn't matter which river in a way they're all alike Whether silent or noisy I like it around Beside the river there is paradise Not that of the bible but also very nice You feel the power that nature can have You feel alive and you notice death Take me to a river and leave me alone I'll be satisfied my thoughts begin to flow Just like the river they find their way And also my feelings for you they are here to stay Beside the river there is paradise Not that of the bible but also very nice You feel the power that nature can have You feel alive and you notice death Beside the river there is paradise Not that of the bible but also very nice You feel the power that nature can have You feel alive and you notice death
