Lyrics

Hey Michael
I’ve spent a lifetime here
Just watching you flow

When Gale comes ‘round
Can’t help but wonder
Where it is you’ll go

And I know
You’ve been on your own
Since I was just a seed

And now
The time has come
To make your way down stream

Hey Michael won’t you let Dolores
Take you by the hand
Lorraine is waiting
John will understand

Hey Douglas
It’s been many moons
That I have watched you grow

Your dancing
When Gale comes round
Is a most delightful show

I’ve been waiting
For a love so free
Since I was merely snow

And now
She’s on her way
Towards her I must roll

Hey Michael won’t you let Dolores
Take you by the hand
Lorraine is waiting
John will understand





You’ll find and lose yourself
She’ll find and lose herself the same

Your waters twist and turn
And carve and dance and share a sacred name

Echoes of your storied past
Like channels through the willows will remain

Your flows together and
Tomorrow’s never just another day


Dear John
Thanks for everything
Your friendship means the world

So long
Fare thee well for now
I’ve gone to see about a girl

Hey Michael won’t you let Dolores
Take you by the hand
Lorraine is waiting
John will understand
