The River
I know the country, I know the city
But I've never found any peace
Like I do inside my lovers arms
Baby our river is deep
I know heartbreak grows old
It changes your very soul
Well the leaves were green and the streets were mean
Baby our river was deep
I've seen clouds of oxy-codeine
At hours when lovers dream
But with all the worlds amphetamine
Baby our river is deep
I know women and I know girls
Some in between
But like hell a female as sweet as my Marie
Baby the river is deep
I'm getting older and she's getting older
Others aren't what they seemed
I find comfort believing she's thinking of me
Baby the river is deep
If her eyes are still golden and hair is still green
My doors always open and hoping I'll see
Baby the river running deep
Baby the river
Baby our river is deep
