lyrics

The River Wants to Turn Me Around
© 2019 Julie Beman (So Many Stars / ASCAP)

Tide’s coming in and the river wants to turn me around
The tide’s coming in and the river wants to turn me around
Says right side up is upside down
I say “I know where I’m going by the ocean’s sound.”
The tide’s coming in and the river wants to turn me around

Sun’s going down and the river wants to turn me around
Oh the sun’s going down and the river wants to turn me around
Says “slow down girl, it’ll be dark soon”
I say “I’m keeping my course, gonna follow the moon.”
The sun’s going down and the river wants to turn me around

Close to the ocean, the river wants to turn me around
I’m close to the ocean, the river wants to turn me around
I say “Your sons are stirring up filthy water,
I’m going home, I’m the Ocean’s daughter.”
Close to the ocean, the river wants to turn me around
