Chris Bathgate - Riverwide lyrics

rate me

I was a lonely little child

On the banks of a river wide

She was most beautiful and blue

And had rest on the other side

Unfurling foam

Far from every stone

And the trees began to sway

Lost my life in a roaring river wide

Just to be with you that day

No bridge, no boat

No way to stay afloat

As I began to cross

I was caught and kept in a current that could crush

And within the waves was lost

As my arms feigned and the water overcame

The waves began to sing

And in my ears, I swear to you my dear

Was a lovely silver ring

I was a lonely little child

In love with a silvery sound

Would you shed a tear for me my dear

For on that day I drowned
