River

(álbum: Josie - 1975)

River, gleam in the sun
Winding down to the sea
Tell me, what have I done?
Send my lover back to me

I've sat so many days upon your banks so wide
Staring into the stream
And in your waters, I see her sitting by my side
But it's only a dream
And in the rivers of my mind
I wonder what made her so unkind

River, gleam in the sun
Winding down to the sea
Tell me, what have I done?
Send my lover back to me

All through the winter when nights are cold and long
I'll be thinking of you
And in the springtime when all the snows are gone
He'll come off me, too
And one fine morning, so tenderly
You write that you're coming home to me

River, gleam in the sun
Winding down to the sea
Tell me, what have I done?
Send my lover back to me

When you're by my side
I'll tell you everything you should know
And I'll never let you go

River, gleam in the sun
Winding down to the sea
Tell me, what have I done?
Send my lover back to me

Mmm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mmm
