Lyrics

Flowing Mountain Stream
© 2012 Sahlen/Starburst

When its springtime in high country when the sunshine melts the snow
I'll be knee deep in my history in a mountain stream I know
With my rod and reel in hand and a hook upon the line
I'll be fishing for lost memories to come nibbling one last time

(chorus)
May your waters run right though me may your current dry my tears
May I find the truth within you to bring comfort through the years
The memory of a lost love's like a long forgotten dream
I'll be searching in the waters of this flowing mountain stream

I remember how your blonde hair fell like satin round your breast
The truth reflected in your eyes, your mood was always best
And the salmon struggled upstream and we thought they'd never cope
We cheered them on with laughter and you filled my heart with hope

(repeat chorus)

(instrumental bridge)

(repeat chorus)

Some memories need be buried cause the pain is just too much
The good times need recalling like the softness of your touch
The memory of a lost love's like a long forgotten dream
I'll be searching in the waters of this flowing mountain stream

(repeat chorus)

The singer has a Johnny Cash quality to his voice. The lyrics are good and the chorus is a pretty good hook. A good old fashioned Folk song.

Very cool, Johnny Cash-like vocal. Retro appeal. Cool chord changes. Nice sounding acoustic. Really original!
