This is how it's always been Sun comes up, the day begins People come and then they go I've been around long enough to know If you have a single seed That's enough, that's all you need And if you're lost in the night Keep the river on your right I've been wrangled, I've been wrong I've been strangled til I'm gone And some nights you know I pray That I won't live another day But if you give a dog a bone That's enough to make it home And if you're lost in the night Keep the river on your right I don't know, but I suspect What you give is what you get I don't know, but I believe What you get is what you need So if you have a single dime Well, we're only buying time And if you're lonely in the night Keep the river on your right If you've fallen down a well And no one can hear you yell Ain't no one can hear you call Well the river hears it all Baby come and be my friend Just the way that we began Baby come sit next to me Cause you're the one thing I believe If you have a single seed Give it love, that's all it needs And if you're lost in the night Keep the river on your right If you have a single seed Give it love, that's all it needs And if you're lonely in the night Keep the river on your right Keep the river on your right
