Yesterday, I was born here

And tomorrow, I’ll be gone

They say there’s a man down

Down, down in Persia

Down there

I guess I’ll walk

Walk along the Euphrates

Talking bout the river

The deep deep river

The wide wide river

The cold cold river

The spiritual river

The river of lies

The river of lies

So, let the traces linger on

Many years have come and gone

Oh, how lonely man has been

Without a trace of a faceless friend

Everyday brings us closer

And every night, my soul sees

I see a troubled mankind

Suffering blindly

So, I guess I’ll walk

Walk along the Euphrates

Talking about the river

So let the traces linger in

Many years have come and gone

Oh, how lonely man has been

Without a trace of the faceless friend

Really wanna say that

Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yester-yester-yes-yes-yes-yesterday, I was born here

So, I guess I’ll walk

Walk along the Euphrates

Talking bout the river

The deep

The world wide

The cold

The spiritual

I said the world is cold, yes yes yes

Hey, the deep deep river, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Talking about the deep, deep deep deep deep deep deep deep river

The wide river

The river of life
