Long River

Where the long river flows It flows by my window Where the tall timber grows It grows 'round my door Where the mountains meet the sky And the white clouds fly Where the long river flows By my window There's a tiny bird that calls And he calls by my window There's a lonely tear that falls And it falls 'round my door But when the sun is high There's no time to cry Where the long river flows By my window Now if only you could see The closin' of the day If only you could be Where the dawn breaks away By the white cascade Oh down in the glade Where the long river flows By my window Well when this land was made It was made full of wonder But one woman's love I can't understand And I'd give it all to you If her love were true Where the long river flows By my window Where the long river flows By my window --- Long River - Gordon Lightfoot
