Just Around The River Bend

What I love most about rivers is you can't step in the same river twice.
The water's always changing, always flowing.
But people, I guess, can't live like that.
We all must pay a price.
To be safe we lose our chance in ever knowing

What's around the river bend
Waiting just around the river bend.
I look once more, just around the river bend
Beyond the shore
Where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for
What I dream the day might send just around the river bend
For me, coming for me.

I feel it there beyond those trees or right behind these waterfalls.
Can I ignore the sound of distant drumming?
For a handsome sturdy husband who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming just around the river bend
Just around the river bend.

I look once more, just around the river bend
Beyond the shore
Somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for
Why do all my dreams extend just around the river bend?
Just around the river bend?

Should I choose the smoothest course, steady as the beating drum?
Should I marry Kokoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end?
Or do you still wait for me, dream-giver
Just around the river bend?

The Week to Piss Emily Off!

1. Give her a full body sunburn that'll hurt for days.
2. Make a blister appear on her toe after she wears heels.
3. Force her to have two enormous cold sores on her lip.
4. Make her period come while she sleeps.
5. Put her in pain and ruin her face so that she decides to be anti-social.
6. Have her family stop and stare and laugh every time they see her.

Success.
