This song is not about a relationship, at least to me. It's about a personal journey. It's speaking to someone, or more likely to some part of your own self, and saying, "Find yourself another soul to hold -- Off upon my journey I must go -- to where the River Flows." In other words... you don't get to hang onto me any more... I am going and finding out what I am all about.
"The River" is the river of life, of inspiration, of truth. This song is about getting to that pure, simple, just being and living, not getting hung up in sorrow and pain.
