River of Sorrow
There is a black riverIt passes by my windowOh late at night, all dolled up like ChristI walk the water between the piers
SingingOh, River of SorrowRiver of TimeRiver of SorrowDon't swallow this time
For we all know the baby has expiredLong ago she was pulled from the mireAnd no precious liar or well-wishercan return the love that was stolen1
SingingOh, River of SorrowRiver of TimeRiver of SorrowDon't swallow this time
Can you see the light at the end of the dark passageway?Take me with you towards this light...into the darkness ... passing over the faces in the river...Hear me! I'm whispering in your ear!Take me with you.2
SingingOh, River of SorrowRiver of TimeRiver of SorrowDon't swallow this time
