作曲：Carly Simon

Dear mother the struggle is over now

And your house is up for sale

We divided your railway watches

Between the four of us

I fought over the pearls

With the other girls

But it was all a metaphor

For what was wrong with us

As the room is emptying out

Your face so young comes into view

And on the back porch is a wellworn step

And a pool of light you can walk into

I'll wait no more for you like a daughter

That part of our life together is over

But I will wait for you forever

Like a river

Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx

Do you know any more about God

Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin

On the face of the moon

Have you reconciled with Dad

Does the rain still make you sad

Last night I swear I could feel you

Moving through my room

And I thought you touched my feet

I so wanted it to be true

In my theater there is a stage

And a footlight you can step into

I'll wait no more for you like a daughter

That part of our life together is over

But I will wait for you forever

Like a river

In the river I know I will find the key

And your voice will rise like the spray

In the moment of knowing

The tide will wash away my doubt

'Cause you're already home

Making it nice for when I come home

Like the way I find my bed turned down

Coming in from a late night out

Please keep reminding me

Of what in my soul I know is true

Come in my boat there's a seat beside me

And two or three stars we can gaze into

I'll wait no more for you like a daughter

That part of our life together is over

But I will wait for you forever

Like a river
