Tide And The River Rising

from Where the Heron Waits by Betty and the Baby Boomers

lyrics

Come on get your oars and row, my darling
Come on get your oars and row
We've got tide and the river rising
Come on get your oars and row

Come up on your feet and walk, my baby
Rise up on those feet and walk
We've got arms reaching out to catch you
Haul up on those feet and walk

Come on get your oars and row, my darling
Come on get your oars and row
We've got tide and the river rising
Come on get your oars and row

In the morning call my name, my lover
In the morning call my name
We grow old, young, we birth, we die
And somehow we rearrange

Come on get your oars and row, my darling
Come on get your oars and row
We've got tide and the river rising
Come on get your oars and row

Some live and change the world with grace
And a vision and a strength of mind
Some rise from trouble, some lend a hand
And some keep trying to find

Come on get your oars and row, my darling
Come on get your oars and row
We've got tide and the river rising
Come on get your oars and row

Now watch whose little girls go walking, my lover
And watch then as they learn to run
Watch them as they round the corner out of sight
Then tumbling back in our arms they comes

Come on get your oars and row, my darling
Come on get your oars and row
We've got tide and the river rising
Come on get your oars and row

When it's time to say goodbye, my darling
When it's time to say goodbye
We'll live on in the old and the young ones
Dreaming down a quiet line

Come on get your oars and row, my darling
Come on get your oars and row
We've got tide and the river rising
Come on get your oars and row
