Sometimes when the light is almost gone
And it feels like summer is movin' on
Thoughts of you are tremblin' up in the trees

Fallin' down on me
Like a million leaves
And I know that time

Time is like a river
I said time
Time is like a river


And when the blue twilight is turnin' black
And I'm drivin' down the road that don't look back

And the chill of autumn is in the air
And I'm headed off to someplace
But I don't know where

But I know that time
Time is like a river
Yes it is

I said now time
Time is like a river


And I'm sittin' up here on Chestnut Hill
It's been ten long years but I go back still
I can smell the pines

And see the clay
And I can feel the loneliness
Of the long dark highway


Oh I know that time
Time is like a river

It ain't nothin' but a river
And I'm goin' on back
Back to where we used to be

Just you and me
You and me together
And we went walkin' on down

Walkin' on down those dark and empty streets
Oh time is like a river
Yes it is

Said no time
Ain't nothin' but a river
Time

Ain't nothin' but a rive
