Don't Cross The River

(album: Homecoming - 1972)

There's a little girl out lying on her own
She's got a broken heart
She's not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart

(Ah-) And if she's coming she's showed no mark
She's heard no whistle blowing from the dark
She feels like leaving and she don't know why
Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denying living on the other side
All your life
You were on your own

If you want you can ride my train
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
Maybe even save yourself some grieving

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denying living on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denying living on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...
