The River's Invitation

I've been all across the country

And I've played in every town

'Cause I'm trying to find my baby

But no one has seen her around

Now you know which way I'm headed

If my baby can't be found

I spoke to the river

And the river spoke back to me

And it said, "You look so lonely

You look full of misery

And if you can't find your baby

Come and make your home with me"

I don't want to leave her

'Cause I know she's still alive

And someday I'm gonna find her

Then I'll take her for a ride

Then we'll live our life forever

In a home among the tide
