The River Lyrics - Singles - Rankin Family

When you cross that river 

The trees they will bow down 

The sky will open up to you 

And the lark will sing your song 

When you cross that river 

The path will follow you 

And the winds they will caress your lips 

And the fires they'll burn strong 

Until then... yeah yeah 

The pastures seem greener on the other side 

Alexander don't bide your time uneasily 

When you cross that river 

The rains will be your wine 

The brambles your mandolins 

The earth to dance upon 

When you cross that river 

The moon will give you rest 

The night will be your blanket 

And the sun your morning guest 

When you cross that river 

Boudicca you will wed 

Fuareg you will feast upon 

Mirth your wedding bed 

When you cross that river 

Your fields will plenty reap 

Your children like every spring 

Will autumn keep
