The River Bank

歌詞

Sitting on the river bank Watching the water flow Sittng here thinking and wondering Which way to go? How the river sings the sweetest songs in a million harmonies But the sun shines brighter on the other side That's where l want to be So please mister ferryman Won't you take me to the other side Where the songbirds sing for me Where life is led by the hand of fate That's how it ought to be When the evening shadows reach out At the setting of the sun Will l still be wishing and a-wondering When the morning comes? For l once could swim against the tide Iike the salmon who swims for home But I'll be happy now just to hitch a ride And make it on my own So please mister ferryman Won't you take me to the other side Where the songbirds sing for me Where life is led by the hand of fate That's how it ought to be Well I'll take you says the ferryman But if l should close my eyes And fall asleep before we land You must take these oars and forever more Be at my command
