Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a lost river that flows in a valley where no one goes
Where the wild water's rush rumbles deep in the hush
Gone far from there now, Lord, I'll be back somehow
To where the lost river winds in the shadow of the pines
[Verse 2]
Oh, lost river, now I'm comin' back
To the pot-bellied stove where the firewood's all stacked
Oh, Quebec girl, go with me, oh, my belle, my fleur de lys
Where the lost river winds in the shadow of the pines
[Verse 3]
Now everybody knows where that lost river flows
It's someplace he's lost behind bridges that he's crossed
Well, he'd like to return, but the bridges are all burned
And he's much too far down to return to higher ground
[Verse 4]
Oh, lost river, now I'm comin' back
To the pot-bellied stove where the firewood's all stacked
Oh, Quebec girl, go with me, oh, my belle, my fleur de lys
Where the lost river winds in the shadow of the pines
[Verse 5]
Oh, lost river, far over the ridge
Now is it too late for me to build me a new bridge?
To the bright golden time when her love was still mine
And the world was still wild like the heart of a child
[Verse 6]
Oh, lost river, now I'm comin' back
To the pot-bellied stove where the firewood's all stacked
Oh, Quebec girl, go with me, oh, my belle, my fleur de lys
Where the lost river winds in the shadow of the pines
Where the lost river winds in the shadow of the pines
