verse 1 There is a black river It passes by my window And late at night All dolled up like Christ I walk the water Between the piers Singing woah, River of sorrow, River of time, River of sorrow, Don't swallow this time Instrumental x2 verse 2 For we all know the baby has expired Long ago she was pulled from the mire And no precious liar or well-wisher Can return the love that was stolen So oh, River of sorrow, River of time, River of sorrow Don't swallow this time Bridge Can you see the light At the end of the dark passageway? Take me with you towards the light Into the darkness passing over the faces in the river Hear me, I'm whispering in your ear So oh, River of sorrow, River of time, River of sorrow Don't swallow this time So oh, River of sorrow, River of time, River of sorrow Don't swallow this time
