Lady of the River

Down in darkest Chelsea, Where all the riverboats lie The travellers and the river bums And the old timers passin' by Below the lonesome chaos, Far from any footsteppin' street Towards the steely ocean, There's a girl I long to meet Baby won't you come down row with me Where all the river boats lie In the end together we can try to turn the tide Who knows who we'll return our wings to some of those restless souls Lord knows its what we're in to now we've opened the doors Oh where are you now my lady of the river, Are you worthy of your faith For the power to drench your man in love is as strong as the driving rain What do you want my river girl, do you see when you go down In the sky above the river boats, is it your heart that begins to drown Baby won't you come down row with me Where all the river boats lie In the end together we can try to turn the tide Who knows who we'll return our wings to some of those restless souls Lord knows its what we're in to now we've opened the doors Oh why do you cry my lady friend, The world is at your feet Oh love is knocking at your door just dying to hear you speak Why do you row my riverboat Are you worthy of this pain For what I thought was love in me Just added to my pain Baby won't you come down row with me Where all the river boats lie In the end together we can try to turn the tide Who knows who we'll return our wings to some of those restless souls Lord knows its what we're in to now we've opened the doors Baby won't you come down row with me Where all the river boats lie In the end together we can try to turn the tide Who knows who we'll return our wings to some of those restless souls Lord knows its what we're in to now we've opened the doors
