The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Beauty in the River Songtexte

(BLOWJUG (SAW?) & GUITAR INTRO)

there's a beauty in the river

there's a beauty in the stream

there's a beauty in the forest at night

when the lonely nightbird screams

and there's so much time for singin'

and so much time for words

there's so much time to listen

and so much time to be heard



there's a brighter day round the corner

there's a crown behind the hill

there's a city of light on that foggy mountain top

where the wind is never still

and there's so much time for livin'

and so much time to die

there's so much time for laughin'

and so much time to cry



we must all stand in the water

we must find it when we roam

it don't matter what is said

we can wake up from the dead

and roll away the stone

we can roll away the stone

(MANDOLIN DITTY)



there's a truth in the eyes of my woman

that no mortal ever knew

she lights my way like the coming of the day

when the sun shines on the dew

and there's so much time for singin'

and so much time for words

there's so much time to listen

and so much time to be heard



we must all stand in the water

we must find it when we roam

it don't matter what is said

we can wake up from the dead

and roll away the stone

we can roll away the stone (hallelujah)



we must all stand in the water

we must find it when we roam

it don't matter what is said

we can wake up from the dead

and roll away the stone

we can roll away the stone (oh lord)



we must all stand in the water

we must find it when we roam

it don't matter what is said

we can wake up from the dead

and roll away the stone

we can roll away the stone
