Across The River

In the style of

Bruce Hornsby

Lyrics

well she moved back
around here
thirty five weeks
ago today

oh down the lane
well at night she walks
on the banks

and remembers
how she
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
we know they always do
well i know

some fine day
you will find your way
across the river
across the river

row down slow
there's a long way to go
across the river
across the river

she was proud
and so strong
and she tried not to
listen to idle talk

downtown where
she walked
well 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 with your
closed mind

but don't try
to make it mine
well i know

some fine day
you will find your way
across the river
across the river

row down slow
there's a long way to go
across the river
across the river

your wild days
are through
is what they said

i dreamed she came
when i was down
and i walked
where she led

standing on the shore
she looks to the west
with a look of longing

to where the grass
seems greener
well 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
across the river

row down slow
there's a long
long way to go

across the river
across the river
river yeah
across the river

row down slow
across the river
across the river

some fine day
ooh
