Please tell me crimson river Is there a place where I Should search your troubled waters Please don't lie It's been raining for three days And the waters are now high I can't find no crossing I'm afraid I'll drown tonight
Wicked river, you don't care You just follow your own course While I weep upon your shore You show me no remorse While the spirits that you took are frowning For me, it seems All waters have the color of drowning
Evenings when I used to get back Home again I'd meet my love in this boat On your wave And damned be the moment When my ring went down below Then he smiled and said "I'll get it back for you"
Now I wish that every river Would just stop its flow But I fear that this waters Just won't let us go Not now, not tomorrow, not until We're all down there below
