Lyrics

[00:14.91] She follows the path of least resistance,
[00:17.52] She doesn't care to see the mountain top.
[00:28.50] She twists and turns with no regard to distance.
[00:36.36] She never comes to a stop.
[00:41.54] And she rolls, she's a river.
[00:49.16] Where she goes, time will tell.
[00:55.89] Heaven knows, he can't go with her.
[01:01.82] And she rolls, all by herself.
[01:09.62] And she rolls, all by herself.
[01:18.17] He's headed for a single destination.
[01:25.10] He doesn't care what's standing in his path.
[01:31.59] He's a line between two points of separation.
[01:38.82] He ends just where it says to on the map.
[01:43.63] And he rolls, he's a highway.
[01:49.25] Where he goes, time will tell.
[01:58.92] Heaven knows, she can't go with him.
[02:05.91] And he rolls, all by himself.
[02:12.37] all by himself.
[02:17.80] But every now and then,
[02:24.17] He offers her a shoulder.
[02:28.04] And every now and then,
[02:29.72] She overflows.
[02:35.09] And every now and then,
[02:37.65] A bridge crosses over.
[02:41.14] It's a moment, every lover loves.
[02:51.31] And she rolls (and he rolls),
[02:55.12] She's a river (he's a highway),
[02:58.18] Where she goes (where he goes),
[03:01.42] Time will tell (time will tell).
[03:05.10] Heaven knows,
[03:08.10] She can't go with him (he can't go with her).
[03:12.03] And she rolls, all by herself.
[03:19.20] And he rolls, all by himself.
[03:26.35] Fare they well...
