Old River

Old river you're wide, you're deep and your cold You make a lonesome old sound as onward you roll 'Neath the crest of your waves I know I could sleep And forget all the sorrows you brought to me Many's the time and many's the night We sat there talkin', makin' things right You've heard all our vows, you've heard all our plans Oh river I know that you'll understand The dawn is breakin' on sea and on land As I write my farewell upon your sand Your wings will embrace me, my body you'll claim Oh river oh river you're calling my name Oh the ways of love is often times cold Like the hearts of lovers, when love grows cold River oh river your depths dark and deep In a watery grave forever I'll sleep
