Back Down the River
Navigating Love's Current: John Martyn's River Journey
Lyrics
I know that we're going to be together
I am confident that our relationship will endure.
You and me
Expressing a connection between two individuals.
For more than a rhyme or two
Our connection goes beyond superficial aspects like rhymes.
Your time belongs to me
Emphasizing a shared sense of time and commitment.
Rowing back down my river
Metaphorically rowing back through personal experiences or memories.
Chasing my tail to the sea
Pursuing one's own path, perhaps with a sense of circularity or repetition.
Rowing back down my river
Repeating the theme of retracing one's steps along the metaphorical river.
Trying my best to be me
Striving to authentically express oneself.
Watching your crazy ways and
Observing the unique and unconventional aspects of the partner's behavior.
All the lazy days digging you more and more
Enjoying and appreciating the leisurely moments with the partner.
The more I see your face
Expressing an increasing attraction or connection upon seeing the partner's face.
Rowing back down my river
Continuing the metaphor of rowing back, seeking freedom.
Trying my best to be free
Striving for personal freedom in the relationship.
Rowing back down my river
Reiterating the desire to go back and navigate personal experiences.
Chasing my tail to the sea
Repeating the idea of chasing one's own path.
Watching the simple things to
Observing and appreciating the simplicity in life for personal growth.
Help me grow along
Seeking personal development through embracing simplicity.
Loving the notes you bring to
Appreciating the partner's contributions to personal expression and creativity.
Help me sing my song
Grateful for the partner's influence in singing one's own song.
Rowing back down my river
Repeating the metaphor of rowing back while maintaining authenticity.
Trying my best to be me
Continuing the theme of striving to be genuine in personal expression.
Rowing back down my river
Persisting in the journey of self-discovery and expression.
Singing my songs to the sea
Expressing oneself through singing and sharing with the broader world.
I know that we're going to be together
Reiteration of confidence in a lasting connection.
You and me for more than a time or two
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the relationship.
Your rhymes belong to me
Highlighting a sense of possession or belonging in the relationship.
Rowing back down my river
Continuing the metaphor of rowing back, striving for personal growth.
Chasing my tail to the sea
Persisting in the individual journey while navigating through life.
Rowing back down my river
Repeating the theme of chasing one's own path and destiny.
Trying my best to be me
Consistently striving to be true to oneself in the journey of life.
