As recorded by Calum Bowie

Capo 3rd fret



[Verse 1]

Back when I wa

s younger

All I really h

ad to know

Was how late c

ould I stay up

How far could 

I skip a stone
         
Life was easy,

 oh-oh-oh
          
We had it easy


[Verse 2]

I remember lig

htin' fires

Down by the Ri

ver Dee

We were drinki

ng cans of cid

er

Bought them wi

th a fake ID
             
And life was e

asy, oh-oh-oh
          
We had it easy


[Pre-Chorus]
              
But I know tho

            
se days are go

ne
              
The current pu

         
shes us along


[Chorus]
              
'Cause we are 

    
the river

Always searchi

ng for the sea
           
We are the sеa

sons

Changing colou

rs on the bree

ze
           
We arе the rea

son

And we're alwa

ys gonna be
           
If we keep mov

ing on
           
We are the riv

er


[Verse 3]
          
I've been driv

in' down the b

ack roads

In the middle 

of the day

I take time ou

t in the shall

ows

When I've got 

nothing to say
            
And I'll be wa

ding out into 

the deeper wat

er
              
When I know it

           
's time to lea

ve

Won't you come

 with me?


[Pre-Chorus]
              
I know there's

         
 more to come
              
The current pu

         
shes us along


[Chorus]
              
'Cause we are 

    
the river

Always searchi

ng for the sea
           
We are the sеa

sons

Changing colou

[Bridge]
           
If all we have
