1970. From the album Morning Leaves 2016; there is an early, poor recording on vinyl.

lyrics

Drifting along
Not a care in the world
Heart full of a song
And a beautiful girl
Finding a way
And I’m taking her hand
All down the Sands of The River.

The two of us are
Just rolling downstream
Sky full of stars
And a beautiful dream
Eyes like the dawn
When she opens them wide
I cannot hide that I love her.

Breezes blow I’m praying
Fill our new made love with wind
Gently does it, ease us on
Through the night, until the dawn
Wakes my love and me.

Drifting along
Not a care in the world
Heart full of a song
And a beautiful girl
Find in her eyes
Endless promised lands
All down the Sands of The River.

about

Dave Atkinson Chester, UK

I have been writing songs since 1967 when I was 17 and since I have accumulated over 440. Early influences were Dylan, Cohen, Jackson Browne Joni Mitchell, Kristofferson. Though never 'successful' in any conventional sense, my songs and guitar have led many sing-rounds and a couple of 1970's albums sell for £100s as 'rare vinyl'. Above all, it has been a happy adventure. www.atkinsongs.co.uk ... more
