There's a river between us now Some state line borders, some broken towns Some singing sailors doing what they please Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees I've loved your eyes, your innocence In the face of bad times and where it wents There's no wind on this bitter earth Time and distance claim my blues for what they're worth I'd call your name when I grew scared I'd write your home if you were there I am so broken by losing you Only life can heal and see me through When it "rains" I'm all alone, Confused by lonely, headed for home Some singing sailors doing what they please Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees There's a river between us now Some state line borders, some broken town Some singing sailors doing what they please Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees
