Lost River Lyrics - Buckaroo Blue Grass - Michael Martin Murphey

there's a lost river that flows 

in a valley where no one goes 

where the wild waters rush 

rumbles deep in the hush 

gone far from there now 

lord, i'll get back somehow 

to where the lost river winds 

in the shadow on the pines 

chorus: 

oh, lost river, now i'm coming back 

to the potbellied stove 

where the firewood's all stacked 

oh, quebec girl, go with me 

oh ma belle, my fleur-de-lis 

where the lost river winds 

in the shadow of the pines

verse 2: 

now everybody knows 

where that lost river flows 

it's someplace he's lost 

behind bridges that he's crossed. 

well, he'd like to return 

but his bridges ae all burned 

and he's much too far down 

to return to higher ground. 

chorus: 

verse 3: 

oh, lost river, far over the ridge 

now is it too late 

for me to build me a new bridge 

to that bright golden time 

when her love was still mine 

and the world was still wild 

like the heart of a child.
