Old river winding Water run high If there's gold for the finding Well, it's passing me by How I ache for a part in a play I could say I didn't blow O Louise won't you please me now You bring me to my knees You only tease me now It seems you're always trying to show That you're unkind T hat you've got nothing for a heart And echoes in your mind You know, faking everything Don't make it fine Take everything But don't take my time I walked to some river And I felt how it flowed Though I feel like a beggar now I say I've chosen to go Some loving is torture It seems ours is not the way O Louise I'm gonna leave you now You bring me to my knees You only grieve me now It seems you're always trying to show That you're unkind That you've got nothing for a heart And echoes in your mind You know, faking everything Don't make it fine Take everything But don't take my time
