Wide Is the River

Oh, I've wasted all my days
For they float away like a river
Tumbling down the falls to bay
And oh I try, I try to change my ways
But they're here to stay, as I quiver
Stumbling through the dark, 'til day
Then that voice inside my head
I wake up in a motel bed, and sing

Wide is the river we swim across
High is the mountain of pain and loss
Strong is the wind that blows so cold
Long is the story yet to be told

Oh, how I wish that I could stay
But I roll away through the rapids
Rumbling down the falls to bay
And oh, to live or die is all but fate
Send me on down the River Delta
Sink me in my resting place

Then that voice inside my head
I wake up and sing

Wide is the river we swim across
High is the mountain of pain and loss
Strong is the wind that blows so cold
Long is the story yet to be told

Wide is the river we swim across
High is the mountain of pain and loss
Strong is the wind that blows so cold
Long is the story yet to be told

Alright now!
