The One-Line Lyric Challenge

Where I Go

It's time for our second writing prompt for the One-Line Lyric Challenge (new name)! You may have noticed, I've given the challenge a proper title and separated it from the blog into it's own thing. I think it makes a lot more sense this way. Maybe it will even get a little more traction. Who knows?

This is the prompt for March, even though it's now April when I'm posting this.

For the record, last month's prompt

"So Sad So Lonely" 
"All the one way rides"

is still open if you want to enter.

This one takes me back to family vacations in the Oregon country side.

"Where I Go" by Natalie Merchant



Lyrics: ▼

Climbing under a barbed wire fence
by the railroad ties
Climbing over the old stone wall
I am bound for the riverside

Well, I go over to the river to soothe my mind
To ponder over the crazy days of my life
Just sit and watch the river flow

Find a place on the riverbank
Where the green rushes grow
See the wind in the willow tree
in the branches hanging low

Well, I go to the river to soothe my mind
To ponder over the crazy days of my life
Watch the river flow
Ease my mind and soul
Where I go

Well, I will go to the river from time to time
Wander over these crazy days in my mind
Watch the river flow
Where the willow branches grow
By the cool rolling waters
Moving gracefully and slow
Ooh child, it's love, it's lovely
Let the river take it all away

The mad pace, the hurry, the hurry,
The troubles, the worries, the worries
Just let the river take them all away
Flow away, flow away
Flow away

Prompt: "Let the river take them all away"
