about

true peace and joy, with love and nature

lyrics

Blue River
You got me dancin’ along
Travelin’ on
Towards another dawn

Dig that weather
when the leaves are turnin’ brown
I see the blues
fallin’ all around

Blue River
You got me singin’ your song
Not alone
You help me carry on

High above the trees
They’re all dressed in fire
These blue wings will never tire

No-- They’re glidin’ fine
Beatin’ time on the sky line
Ya’ know the autumn breeze
Will send them leaves a flyin’
I know the summers gone
But my blue river girl she keeps a rollin’ on
I’ll be there with her tonight
Livin’ the life

Blue River
You got me rockin’ on
It’s been a long run
Since I sang this song

Soon the trees will be bare
I’ll still be here
Anywhere or way I flow with you
In this blue canoe

Yes, we’re paddling all the way
To a new day
Dip, dip, sway away the autumn blues
You know the summer’s gone
But my blue river girl she keeps a flowin’ on
I’ll be there with her tonight
Livin’ the life
Yes, I’ll be there with her tonight
Livin’ the life

Springfield, Massachusetts based rock band, Opel began writing and performing songs about love, life, loss, and addiction back in 2005 when bassist Bill Szafarowitz and song writer James Fiore (formerly of the band Project Fuzz) joined forces. ... more
