TIDE AND THE RIVER RISING (OARS)

(by Cindy Kallet)

	Come on, get your oars and row, my darling
	Come on, get your oars and row
	We’ve got tide and the river rising
	Come on, get your oars and row

Come up on your feet and walk, my baby
Rise up on your feet and walk
We’ve got arms reaching out to catch you
Haul up on those feet and walk

In the morning call my name, my darling
In the morning call my name
We grow old, young; we birth, we die
And somehow rearrange

	Come on, get your oars ...

Some live and change the world with grace
And a vision and a strength of mind
Some rise from trouble, some lend a hand
And some keep trying to find

Watch that little boy go a-walking, my lover
And watch him as he learns to run
Watch him as he rounds the corner out of sight
Then tumbling back in our arms he comes

	Come on, get your oars ...

When it’s time to say goodbye, my darling
When it’s time to say goodbye
We’ll live on in the old and the young ones
Dreaming down a quiet line

	Come on, get your oars ...

	Come on, get your oars ...
