Neponset River Dreams

Neponset River Dreams

[Verse 1]
In the mists of April, twenty-twenty-five,
A cold spring dawn, where the river comes alive.
The Neponset flows gently, weaving through the chill,
Lent for the birds, their songs are still,
As a child I dreamed of this place so near,
Wishing to live down by the river here.

[Chorus]
Oh, Neponset River, with your waters so deep,
You carry my memories, you cradle my dreams.
You’re not so silent when the world slows down,
In the heart of the city, you wear a crown.

[Verse 2]
When the red lights blink, and the traffic comes to halt,
The sound of the horn is a rhythmic pulse,
The drawbridge raises for a lonely boat,
While a hundred cars wait, with radios afloat.
Through meadows of Milton, your journey unfolds,
To the sea where the mysteries are told.

[Chorus]
Oh, Neponset River, with your waters so deep,
You carry my memories, you cradle my dreams.
You’re not so silent when the world slows down,
In the heart of the city, you wear a crown.

[Bridge]
The East Blue Hills smile in the distance so bright,
Just beyond Pleasant Valley, in morning light.
Deadman’s Curve whispers tales from the past,
But you keep on flowing, forever steadfast.

[Verse 3]
Men come and go, like the seasons of time,
But your waters keep dancing, a sweet, endless rhyme.
In the whispers of nature, your spirit will stay,
Teaching us gently as you wind your way.

[Chorus]
Oh, Neponset River, with your waters so deep,
You carry my memories, you cradle my dreams.
You’re not so silent when the world slows down,
In the heart of the city, you wear a crown.

[Outro]
So here’s to your journey, dear river, my friend,
Flow on through the ages, your song will not end.
In the chill of spring, in the sun's warm embrace,
Neponset, forever, you’ll hold your place.
