Little River Girl - Jono McCleery

I will open doors for you

I will stand aside and let you move

I won’t even cry 'til you do

I feel it in my soul today

Knowing you are here to stay

I hear it when I breathe

I’m in tune with the way you feel

All I ever learn in time

Is to see you through my childhood eyes

Standing with the sun saying:

Darling won’t you come inside?

You are in the way it flows

You’re Sobek’s little river girl

Head out of your hatch

Waiting for the season’s turn

The sun has almost gone away

Feels as though it’s time to pray

It’s showing us to look beyond;

Settle down and reason with the rain

And all you ever learn in time

Is to see me through your childhood eyes

Standing with the sun saying:

Darling won’t you come outside?
