Joan Baez - Strange Rivers Lyrics
There are voices in the mirror, faces at the door
That open on the rivers we've never seen before
Are there choices for the sparrow, or does he only fly
High above the rivers that are pulling you and I
There are strange rivers who know our destiny
There are strange rivers who brought your love to me
He could have been a builder, he could have been the one
Who turned his dreams to steel cathedrals in the sun
He could have been a builder, until he bought the gun
There are forces in that river that keep him on the run
Oh, there are strange rivers, rivers that we cannot see
There are strange rivers who know our destiny
Have you ever turned the corner and wondered why you did?
You haven't been that way since you were just a kid
Nothing really happens and then you have to say
You wonder what would happen had you gone the other way
Oh, there are strange rivers, rivers that we cannot see
There are strange rivers who know our destiny
There are strange rivers who brought your love to me

such a wonderfull voice and excellent guitar, never heard such a good version...
love this song
Thank you very much! Shared on G+ October 11, 2016
bravo !!
Written by the late great John Stewart, his version is also very good. Love Joan tho anyway :)
This song has such a haunting melody - lyrics beautiful - haunting chords played and the purity & beauty of Joan's voice. Have listened to her since I was 16 years old - a young, young girl was I - and still decades and decades later with all the music I listen to - with all the folk voices I have come to love - Sandy Denny, Judy Collins & others, Joan will remain forever at the top. When I was a young girl - I wanted to grow up and sing & become a folk singer - because of hearing Joan Baez.
Yours seems to be the history of millions of us , all around the world. And make us a brotherhood of Hearts beating at the same pace . And I´m sure with a pace of love, compassion , goodness, that is what the bodhisattva, for a while named Joan Baez, brings, wthing her message, her voice, her soul. Love and Gratitude , forever.
So beautiful :-)))
