Euphrates

(album: Euphrates River - 1974)

Yesterday, I was born here
And tomorrow, I'll be gone
They say there's a man down
Down, down in Persia
Down there

I guess I'll walk
Walk along the Euphrates
Talking bout the river
The deep deep river
The wide wide river
The cold cold river
The spiritual river
The river of lies
The river of lies
So, let the traces linger on
Many years have come and gone
Oh, how lonely man has been
Without a trace of a faceless friend

Everyday brings us closer
And every night, my soul sees
I see a troubled mankind
Suffering blindly

So, I guess I'll walk
Walk along the Euphrates
Talking about the river
So let the traces linger in
Many years have come and gone
Oh, how lonely man has been
Without a trace of the faceless friend

Really wanna say that
Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yester-yester-yes-yes-yes-yesterday, I was born here
So, I guess I'll walk
Walk along the Euphrates
Talking bout the river
The deep
The world wide
The cold
The spiritual
I said the world is cold, yes yes yes
Hey, the deep deep river, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Talking about the deep, deep deep deep deep deep deep deep river
The wide river
The river of life
