Montana River

The current that carried me crystal and clean

From this distant shore is no longer seen

Blue eyes and blue skies old cottonwood trees

Montana river come rescue me

Montana river and another day’s time

And mountains and prairies like whiskey and wine

All that I wish for with a tear in my eye

As I sit on the banks where the wild rivers die

Shadows on cave walls, a certain company

Danced on the firelight to the river symphony

I stumble in a strange light cracked mirror in the sea

Montana river come rescue me

Montana river and another day’s time

And mountains and prairies like whiskey and wine

All that I wish for with a tear in my eye

As I sit on the banks where the wild rivers die

The answer to a question Camus asked to me

Hides in the places most folks never see

No need for a compass no book has the key

Montana river come rescue me

Montana river and another day’s time

And mountains and prairies like whiskey and wine

All that I wish for with a tear in my eye

As I sit on the banks where the wild rivers die

Have you been to the place where the wild rivers die
