River Song -

River

I was born in the path of the winter wind
And             1            (to raise)  where the mountains are old.
Their springtime waters                  2                 (to come) dancing down,
I                     3                     ( to remember)  the tales they               4                (to tell)
The whistling ways of my younger days
Too quickly                 5                (to fade) on by
But all of their memories linger on
Like light in a fading song.  River take me along in your sunshine,
sing me your song ever moving and winding and free
You are rolling old river,
You            6                (to change) old river,
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea.   Well, I've been to the city and I've been back again,
I've been moved by some things that                   7                  (to learn)
Met a lot of good people and                8                   (to call) them friends,
Felt the change when the seasons turned.                9             (to hear) all the songs that the children sing,
And                  10              (to listen) to love's melodies
I've felt my own music within me rise
Like the wind in the autumn trees  River, Take me along...  Some day when the flowers are blooming still,
Some day when the grass              11            (to be) still green,
My rolling waters will round the bend
And flow into the open sea. So here is to the rainbow that has followed me here,
And here is to the friends that I               12           (to know),
And here's to the song that           13            (to be) within me now,
I            14              (to sing)  it where ere I go. River take me along...
