מילים לשיר Across The River – Bruce Hornsby

by Bruce R. Hornsby and John Hornsby) She moved back around here
ThrityOh, down the lane
And remembers how she
At night she walks on the banks
Dreamed of rowing away
And how she left one day
She left with a driven look in her eyes
Came back around with it still inside
They said give it some time
And you'll forget about it too
Well I know
We know they always do
Some fine day You will find your way
Across the river
Row down slow
Across the river
There's a long way to go She was pround and so strong
Downtown where she walked
And she tried not to listen to idle talk
They sit around and they say
That she came back with her tail between her legs
Like they always said she would
Well I hear it's better on the other side
They say you'll never do it So don't even try
Well, you may be beaten down
But don't try to make it mine
With your closed mind
Well I know Some fine day
There's a long way to go
You will find your way
Across the river
Row down slow Across the river
I dreamed she came, when I was down and
"Your wild days are through" is what they said
I walked where she led With a look of longing
She looks to the west
Standing on the shore
To where the grass seems greener
There's a hard and distant prize
It probably won't happen
But I think i'll try
Well even if it doesn't happen for me
It still beats hanging around here
Well I know Some fine day
You will find your way
Across the river
Row down slow
There's a long way to go
Across the river.
