I've been waiting on the day When all my problems drift away And all that I could hope to find A little peace of my own mind
Here, At the mercy of the tide By these muddy banks I've cried I washed my sins in that cool water (Many man can't find this place) At the mercy of the tide
In the distance, for an instant I could see her standing
By the river, where I feel her It's the place where I'd find shelter And I need her, I believe her Mekong River Delta
I'm still waiting on that day But my life gets in the way I wish I had some time for you (I don't know if you want me to) The things we say but never do
In the distance, for an instant I could see her standing
By the river, where I feel her It's the place where I'd find shelter And I need her, I believe her Mekong River Delta Mekong River Delta
I could see her I could see her I could see her laughin'
By the river, where I feel her It's the place where I'd find shelter And I need her, I believe her Mekong River Delta Mekong River Delta Mekong River Delta Mekong River Delta Mekong River Delta
