Eb / / /                          Gm / Ab /

Night, like a river, beginning to flow
Ab / Bb /                  (Cm-Bb-Ab)           
I felt the beat of my mind go drifting into

Well, I'm not the kind to live in the past.
Ab / Bb /                        (Cm-Bb-Ab)
The years run too short and the days too fast. 
Eb / / /                       Gm / Ab /      
The things you lean on are things that don't last. 
Ab / Bb /                        (Cm-Bb-Ab)     
Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these
