Lyrics

No one ever loved that river
Rain from the highlands
A mirror for the Cajun moon
A road without a memory
Of anything that started out as blue
You can pour me
Like a jug of wine
Into the Gulf of Mexico, honey
Until the end of time
But no one ever loved that river
The way I love you
You move with your own rhythm
Like tide on the river
Like lightning on the Pontchartrain
The way you come to me at midnight
Warm and naked as the rain
What were you whispering down in Natchez?
Has that word muddied up my mind?
By some great ocean
Gonna make you leave it all behind
Well, no one ever loved that river
The way I love you
You got land above the salt line
That bougainvillea in your hand
The barges pulled from New Orleans
You said you'd leave without a care
But the rumor on the river is that
Anything that touches you will be free
But I know you can't be free
You can never leave this river
Without me
Oh your eyes, they flash defiance
They will not wait upon my word
You throw my eyes across the skyline
Like some long and graceful bird
Your lips have known me better, honey
And that satin ball of fire turns to blue
I cannot leave this river
I will not leave this river without you
No one ever loved that river
The way I love you
No, no one ever loved that river
The way I love you
