From the recording Retrospective
Lyrics
River
Muddy river flows beside me
Cold, grey skies overhead
Baby left me down by the river
River is whispering and goodbye is all it says
Sad wind rushing through the treetops
Black wind blowing right through me
Baby left me down by the river
River flows on down to eternity
Wish I could go on down the river
Wish I could leave this place today
River won’t you take me
River don’t you know she’s gone away
Wish I could go on down the river
Wish I could leave this place today
River won’t you take me
River don’t you know she’s gone away
Muddy river keeps on moving
Down as far as I can see
Baby left me down by the river
River feels good, as it washes over me
As it washes over me
As it washes over me
