Track Insight / Lyrics
Richmond whispers, low and slow
Stories in the currents flow
Brick and water, time takes hold
Secrets that the river told
These cobblestones have felt my wheels
A thousand fares, a thousand deals
Seen the city rise and bend
Every journey has an end
Cobblestone rapids, turning free
Richmond's heartbeat, flows through me
Stone and water, hand in hand
Ancient rhythm of this land
The James is restless, strong and wide
Reflects the buildings, side by side
Felt the rumble, felt the spray
Washed the worries of the day
Cobblestone rapids, turning free
Richmond's heartbeat, flows through me
Stone and water, hand in hand
Ancient rhythm of this land
Old tobacco warehouses stand
Ghosts of commerce fill the land
I've carried lovers, lost and found
Heard their whispers all around
Cobblestone rapids, turning free
Richmond's heartbeat, flows through me
Stone and water, hand in hand
Ancient rhythm of this land
Rain slicked streets, a silver sheen
Headlights cut the misty scene
Each brick a memory, worn and true
This river town, sees me through
Seen the seasons come and go
Winter's frost and summer's glow
Each change a story, etched in time
This city's beauty, truly sublime
Cobblestone rapids, turning free
Richmond's heartbeat, flows through me
Stone and water, hand in hand
Ancient rhythm of this land
They say the river knows my name
A silent witness to the game
Of life and loss, of joy and pain
Rolling onward, again and again
Cobblestone rapids, turning free
Richmond's heartbeat, flows through me
Stone and water, hand in hand
Ancient rhythm of this land
Rapids calling, soft and low
Where the river currents flow
Richmond sleeps, beneath the stars
Cobblestones and river scars.
