lyrics

A RIVER SO WIDE

Well the water is deep and the river is wide
Never seen it boil & churn ‘til I was swept deep inside
So what you gonna do when it’s all sinks in
And no one’s there to thrown you a line and now it’s sink or swim
In that river so wide

Well I’d never been lost in the forest so deep
Never stepped such a treacherous path or seen a fall so steep
Standing alone when the wolves closed in
If you ever wanna get outta this you better see you don’t slip
In the forest so deep
And time will grind down the hardest heel
When every dog has had it’s day you’re gonna know…. how it feels

Well I never once dreamed that I would see a day
When the people I called my friends could just turn & walk away
You can go on believing the worst until it’s all you see
You can spread your rumours around & point the fat finger at me
You know it’s alright
I’m staring at the clear blue sky

And time will grind down the hardest heel
(It’s only time but time will grind down the hardest heel)
And when every dog has had it’s day you’re gonna know…. how it feels

Well I swear I’ve never seen that river so high
Never seen such a turbulent tide ‘til I was swept up inside
It’s whacha gonna do when it all falls in
Before you hit rock bottom boy, you better know how to swim
The river’s so wide
The river so wide
