I'm lost on the river
And dark is the night
Just like the blind
Praying for sight
Drifting along
Heart filled with strife
I'm lost on the river
The river of life (x2)
Once dear I thought
That I knew the way
That was before
Ol' sad yesterday
The words that you say
They cut like a knife
I'm lost on the river
The river of life (x2)
And out on this river
I'm where sorrow creeps
And thinking of you
Oh how my heart weeps
Tomorrow you'll be
Another man's wife
I'm lost on the river
The river of life (x5)
