    Story Behind the Song
    This is one of my earliest songs, probably the 3rd one I wrote back in 1997. This was when my wife and I still lived in Manitoba and there came a flood on the Red River. Grand Forks North Dakota was submerged for a time and declared a disaster area. Then the flooding moved North to Winnipeg. It was called the Flood of the Century, so high was the water, and so devastating the result. I was so impressed with how people rallied to help each other I was moved to write. A number of poems came as a result and so did this song. The flooding river became a metaphor for something else - a wave of creativity perhaps. Come down to the River and find out for yourself.

    Lyrics
    Come down to the river
    It's wider than it seems
    Come down to the river
    It's the place where you can dream

    River flowing, river glowing
    River moving down the line
    River flowing, river glowing
    River mine . . .

    Come down to the river
    I know you really care
    Come and see our sorrows
    Flowing out to nowhere
    River flowing, river glowing
    River moving down the line
    River flowing, river glowing
    River mine . . .

    Chorus
    I remember as a child
    This song would come to me
    I remember hearing it everyday
    I remember the words from the River's own voice . . . Remember to Pray

    Bridge
    For a love that is your own
    For a love that takes you home
    For a love that opens up another way
    For a love that is the best
    So much better than the rest
    River flowing, river glowing all the way

    Chorus

    So come down to the river
    It's wider than it seems
    Come down to the river
    It's the place where you can dream

    River flowing, river glowing
    River moving down the line
    River flowing, river glowing
    River mine . . .
