Lyrics
Wild River (Boxcar letters)<br />
<br />
I’m writing you this letter<br />
From this place far from home<br />
High on this mountain <br />
In the Canadian Shield<br />
I know you like words<br />
And words I’ll use<br />
To paint this river that I see<br />
<br />
This river runs wild <br />
And this river runs deep<br />
Down these canyon walls to the inland sea<br />
This river runs wild <br />
This river runs free<br />
This river runs deep<br />
Inside of me<br />
<br />
(Instrumental)<br />
<br />
This river runs wild<br />
This river runs deep<br />
Down these canyon walls to the inland sea<br />
Ah this river runs wild and this river runs free<br />
This river runs deep inside of me<br />
<br />
Misty mountains pristine lakes<br />
In this boreal forest<br />
High above the sea<br />
I’ll always remember <br />
The time I spent here<br />
Painting the wonders<br />
Of this Canadian Shield<br />
<br />
This river runs wild<br />
This river runs deep<br />
Down these canyon walls to the inland sea<br />
This river runs wild <br />
This river runs deep<br />
This river runs deep inside of me.<br />
<br />
