      Merrimack River

      Restless to begin
      A wave comes crashing in
      The band on stage is tuning
      Jacarandas are blooming

      Your face sketched in the trees
      Puts my mind at ease
      Beneath the water frozen
      The Merrimack River is flowing
      Thunder rolling over

      Don’t say you’re not amazed when you know you are
      And don’t say you’re not afraid when you know you are

      Rows of boys and girls
      Line up to see the world
      Candy-coated promise
      Just out of reach when you want it

      Give me something sweet
      Bring me to the brink
      I’ll leave without hesitation
      To a world without limitation
      Rock me patient, slowly

      Don’t say you’re not amazed when you know you are
      And don’t say you’re not afraid when you know you are
      You know you are

      A world that moves too fast
      A mouth of broken glass
      It may not seem so painful
      By January, the rain will swallow
      Change will follow

      Don’t say you’re not amazed when you know you are
      Don’t say you’re not afraid when you know you are
      You know you are
      I know you are
