Are we left all alone? Mother has no time but she cares for me And she cries all the tears I am joining now the river flow I am three days old Now the time has come, you have to be a man I don't want to destroy The only chance I have to survive down here

falling in love with you. Like a river flows, surely to the sea; darling so it goes, some things are meant to be. Take my hand; take my whole life, too. For I can't help, Wise man say

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul,

For I can't help falling in love with you Like a river flows surely to the sea Darling so it goes Some things are meant to be Take my hand, take my whole life too Wise men say only fools rush in But I can't help falling in love with you Shall I stay?

Beautiful, beautiful life Mountain high and river low, I follow Anywhere you are and you'll go, I follow Take me to the bottom, drive me in low Wherever you go It's a beautiful, beautiful life Anywhere she wants to go

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul,

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul,

Oh your love keeps me in chains Just like the river I come back again Oh your fear keeps me right here You'll be the arrow, the arrow Times up, I'm alright The fire's out, the stars are burning Don't speak, say something my love The walls are cracking,

And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry I met her accidentally in Saint Paul

When the devil come a callin' I ain't gonna be around, Well the devil may care, You toss 'em back and be a man, With the last time, End of it all, end of the line, End of the road,
