Roll on, Yellow River, roll along
I'm just here to reminisce
Wet my feet and watch you run
Don't you ever just get tired
We've been running for so long
Let me rest here for awhile and play my song
Let me dream here in your shade, ol' willow tree
Help me clear this worried mind
Feel the gentle summer breeze
Let my spirit ride the wind
High above the eagle's throne
Let me rest here for awhile and play my song
(Chorus)
Let me rest here for awhile and play my song
Forget about tomorrow 'til it's gone
Nestled like a child
In Mother Nature's arms
Let me rest here for awhile and play my song
In the quiet of a peaceful, starry night
Lie beneath the summer moon
See the beauty in it's light
Feel the presence of the Father
Watch the breaking of the dawn
Let me rest here for awhile and play my song
(Repeat chorus)
