Yonder line of naked trees Yonder burn the thousand winds Blowing hidden things Diamonds never die Borderline of naked trees It is blowing from the sea Homeless scattered ash Swallows never crash Down below that line of trees There's a place where old friends meet River oh so sweet Never running dry Down below that line of trees There's a place where old friends meet River oh so sweet Never running dry    All the years went up in smoke Sailing on the riverboat Down the river down the stream Hanging on as in a dream All the time went down the drain And yet the song remained the same We grew wise and we grew mean And it's all gone with the rain Yonder path of broken stones Stormy path of broken bones Yonder path of broken stones Stormy path of broken bones Leading to this shore Where we shall have to walk no more Have you found a place to rest Crossed your arms across your chest Will you stay  for another day.... All the years went up in smoke Sailing on the riverboat Down the river down the stream Hanging on as in a dream All the time went down the drain And yet the song remained the same We grew wise and we grew mean It is all gone with the rain With the rain with the rain With the rain Paper crawn on New Year's Eve Giggling "Son it could be your name" Drawing kings Won't ever be the same Borderline of naked trees It is blowing from the sea Homeless scattered ash Swallows never crash

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un voyage à travers le temps, avec des souvenirs d’amitiés et de moments partagés le long d'une rivière symbolique. Elle parle de la fragilité de la vie, des expériences qui filent entre nos doigts, et de la sagesse acquise au fil des années, parfois accompagnée de dureté. Les images de la nature, comme les arbres dénudés et le vent de la mer, transmettent une mélancolie douce, évoquant des lieux de rencontre où l’on aspire à trouver du réconfort. Enfin, l’idée que malgré le passage du temps et les défis, certaines valeurs et souvenirs restent éternels, suggère une profondeur touchante, comme si l'on pouvait se reposer enfin après tant d'épreuves.
