Sunny morning, sunny afternoon When it's always June, there's no time to cry Days keep pa**ing, but they're all the same Seasons never change And the years are long Oh, the years are long Shady river carry me away Shady river carry me away Take me off and bring me back another day City streetlights, how I miss the dark Fate was off the mark when it left me here Old man moonlight tryin' to keep me blue And the stars try to They won't let me go Won't you let me go? Shady river carry me away Shady river carry me away Take me off and bring me back another day When I'm tired, and start to think I'm through Tryin' to be true, but it's awfully hard Oh, so hard to do Shady river carry me away Shady river carry me away Take me off and bring me back another day Shady river carry me away Shady river carry me away Take me off and bring me back another day
