Bend In The River Lyrics - Marty Robbins

Past the first bend in the river is another bend I can't see 

And the bend that keeps calling is the bend that keeps hiding from me 

Past the first hill on the desert is another hill I can't see 

And the hill that keeps hiding is the hill that keeps calling to me 

In the cottonwood by the river a mourning dove calls his mate 

He has true love to give her but love for me must wait 

Till I've traveled every river and each desert hill I have climbed 

If I find love to my liking I'll leave the river's bend far behind
