River of Light
Journey of Redemption: Gordon Lightfoot's River of Light Unveiled
Lyrics
Heading off on a river at peace in the cool of an evening
Embarking on a serene river journey in the calm of the evening.
Heading off on a river of light, be a part of a river at night
Becoming a part of a radiant river at night.
Nice to be on a river sometimes, like a junebug traveling
Expressing the joy of being on a river occasionally, akin to a carefree junebug's journey.
Heading off on a ribbon of song, been away from the river too long
Setting off on a poetic river of song, indicating a prolonged absence from the river.
Good to be on a river somewhere, like a milkweed traveling
Highlighting the pleasure of being on a river, reminiscent of the gentle travel of a milkweed.
Heading off on a ribbon of dreams, be a part of a river it seems
Embarking on a dream-like journey on a metaphorical river, emphasizing the connection with it.
Can you tell me how long must I travel on?
Pondering the duration of the ongoing journey.
I won't be looking up old friends, I won't be looking up old friends ever again
Declaring a decision not to reconnect with old friends in the future.
I spent my life taking my time and I can't change anything
Reflecting on a life spent leisurely and acknowledging an inability to alter the past.
Take a look at my river of light, be a part of a river at night
Observing a river of light, encouraging participation in its nocturnal beauty.
Nice to be on a river at peace, like a junebug traveling
Expressing contentment on a peaceful river, drawing a parallel with the carefree journey of a junebug.
Heading off on a river at last, my tears will be all in the past
Setting off on a long-awaited river journey, anticipating a resolution for past sorrows.
Good to be on a river somewhere, like a milkweed traveling
Expressing the goodness of being on a river, akin to the free travel of a milkweed.
Heading down where the water runs deep, down deep where the fish are asleep now
Heading towards the depths of a river where fish sleep, symbolizing a profound journey.
Can you tell me how long must I travel on?
Questioning the duration of the ongoing journey.
I won't be looking up old friends, I won't be looking up old friends ever again..
Reiterating the decision not to seek out old friends in the future.
Trouble don't mean nothing to me, and I had my share of it
Asserting that troubles hold no significance, having experienced an ample share of them.
Heading off on a river of light, be a part of a river at night
Embarking on a luminous river journey at night, emphasizing participation in its beauty.
Nice to be on a river at peace, in the cool of an evening
Expressing the joy of being on a tranquil river in the coolness of the evening.
Heading off on the silver moon light, maybe love'll find me tonight
Setting off on a river illuminated by the silver moonlight, expressing hope for love to find its way.
Good to be on a river somewhere, like a milkweed traveling
Emphasizing the goodness of being on a river, akin to the unburdened travel of a milkweed.
Heading off on a ribbon of dreams, be a part of a river it seems
Embarking on a dream-like journey on a metaphorical river, stressing the connection with it.
Can you tell me how long must I travel on?
Questioning the duration of the ongoing journey.
I won't be looking up old friends
Reaffirming the decision not to seek out old friends.
I won't be looking up old friends ever again, ever again
Repeating the resolve not to reconnect with old friends in the future.
