Lost on the river, dark is the night Just like the blind, praying for site Drifting alone, heart filled with fright I'm lost on the river the river of life
Once dear I thought I knew the way That was before old sad yesterday Words that you said cut like a knife I'm lost on the river, the river of life
Out on this river where sorrow's free Thinking of you how my heart pleads Tomorrow you'll be another man's wife I'm lost on the river, the river of life
