Gordon Lightfoot - River Of Light ## NOTE: ~ = Bass Walk-Down from G to Em ## CAPO: 4th Fret [INTRO:] A7sus4 /- Dsus2- [VERSE 1:] Heading off on a river at peace in the cool of an evening Heading off on a river of light be part of a river at night Nice to be on a river sometimes like a June bug travelling Heading off on a ribbon of song been away from the river too long Good to be on a river somewhere like a milkweed travelling Heading off on a ribbon of dreams Be a part of a river it seems [CHORUS:] Can you tell me how long must I travel on I won’t be looking up old friends I won’t be looking up old friends ever again [VERSE 2:] I spent my life taking my time and I can’t change anything Take look at my river of light be part of river at night Nice to be on a river at peace like a June bug travelling Heading off on a river at last my tears will be all in the past Good to be on a river somewhere like a milkweed travelling Heading down where the water runs deep Down deep where the fish are asleep now Can you tell me how long must I travel on I won’t be looking up old friends I won’t be looking up old friends ever again [VERSE 3:] Trouble don’t mean nothing to me and I had my share of it Heading off on river of light be part of river at night Nice to be on a river at peace in the cool of an evening Heading off on a silver moonlight maybe love’ll find me tonight Good to be on a river somewhere like a milkweed travelling Heading off on a ribbon of dreams Be a part of a river it seems [CHORUS:] Can you tell me how long must I travel on I won’t be looking up old friends I won’t be looking up old friends ever again Ever again Ever again

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque un voyage introspectif le long d'une rivière lumineuse, symbolisant la paix et la réflexion. L'artiste parle de la beauté d'être en harmonie avec la nature, tout en se remémorant une vie marquée par des choix et des souvenirs. Malgré une certaine mélancolie, il exprime le souhait de laisser derrière lui son passé, y compris des relations anciennes qu'il ne souhaite plus retrouver. L'idée de se diriger vers l'inconnu, porté par des rêves et des espoirs, se dégage tout au long des paroles. C'est une quête de sérénité et de renaissance personnelle, entre l'eau apaisante et la lumière réconfortante.
