There's a little girl out

Lyin' on her own

She's got a broken heart

She's not the kind

To take you down for long

She knows and plays it smart

And if she's comin'

She's showed no mark

She's heard no whistle blowin'

From the dark

She feels like leavin'

And she don't know why

Without no bridges

She's trapped so I sigh

Don't cross the river

If you can't swim the tide

Don't try denyin' livin'

On the other side

All your life

You were on your own

If you want you can ride my train

And soon forget the reason

That you're leaving

You'll lose yourself

And then sometime

Maybe even save yourself some grievin'

Ohohohoh

Don't cross the river

If you can't swim the tide

Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side

Don't cross the river

If you can't swim the tide

Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side

Don't cross the river

If you can't swim the tide

Don't cross the river

If you can't swim the tide

Don't cross the river

If you can't swim the tide
