The River Lyrics

down by the water
the dead of night
I drown my sorrows
against the tide
the moaning surface
I swallow hard
water swells
along the banks
the river's so cold
the river's so wild
honey you are on my mind
the river's so cold
the river's so wild
won't you come to my side

down by the water
your broken heart
my heavy burden
two poles apart
get rid of your fear
when your time comes around
storm rises
along the banks
the river's so cold
the river's so wild
honey you are on my mind
the river's so cold
the river's so wild
won't you come to my side

wade through the water
across the stream
down the river
till I'll be free
wade through the water
across the stream
down the river
till I'll be free
the river's so cold
the river's so wild
honey you are on my mind
the river's so cold
the river's so wild
won't you come to my side

the river's so wild
honey you are on my mind
the river's so cold
the river's so wild
won't you come to my side
