ALONG THE RIVER

ALL THIS TIME I'VE WONDERED
WHAT TO DO
THERE'S A HOLE IN MY HEART
IT BELONGS TO YOU
ALL THOSE SILVER NIGHTS
TURN TO BLUE
'CAUSE NOW, WE'RE THROUGH

I WALK ALONG THE RIVER BABY
THINKIN BOUT THE DAYS WE HAD
LOOKIN AT THE RIVER, BABE
ITS GOT A HOLD ON ME

WALK ALONG THE RIVER BABY
EVERYBODY'S GONE BUT ME
LIFE IS LIKE A RIVER BABE
IT ALL RUNS OUT TO SEA

I' LL JUST HAVE TO LAY YOU DOWN
TILL SOME BETTER TIMES, I WILL MAKE IT FINE
I'LL JUST HAVE TO LAY YOU DOWN
AT THE BREAK OF DAWN
I’LL BE MOVIN’ ON

LOOKIN AT THE RIVER, BABY
I STILL CAN SEE YOUR GOLDEN CURLS
EMBRACES HAVE GONE BITTER
AND THEY’RE BRANDED ON MY SKIN

I SHOULD HAVE READ BETWEEN THE LINES
BUT COULD IT EVER CHANGE YOUR MIND
IT MADE ME FEEL SO LONELY LONELY LONELY
BUT I'LL GET BY

I JUST HAVE TO LAY YOU DOWN
ONE DAY AT A TIME I WILL MAKE IT FINE
I JUST HAVE TO LAY YOU DOWN
AT THE BREAK OF DAWN
I’LL BE MOVIN’ ON

THERE WERE TIMES I BROKE DOWN IN SILENCE
THERE WERE TIMES I RAN OUT OF PATIENCE
WAITING FOR A SIGN FROM YOU

THERE WERE TIMES I WAS HARDLY LIVING
THERE WERE TIMES I WAS A GHOSTLY SHADOW
JUST FOR THE LOVE OF YOU

I WALK ALONG THE RIVER, BABY
WALK ALONG THE RIVER NOW
I WALK ALONG THE RIVER AND I THINK OF YOU
THE SHIMMER OF THE WAVELETS
I WATCH THEM ROLLING BY
TAKING ALL MY TROUBLES AWAY

OH, I'M JUST WALKIN' ON THE RIVER, BABY
OH, THE RIVER OF TIME
