Long River Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

Where the long river flows it flows by my window 

Where the tall timber grows, it grows 'round my door 

Where the mountain meets 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 'round 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 wonders 

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
