Written by Lynn Adler, Lindy Hearne, & Hal Greenwood

lyrics

On a river dark as whiskey
On a night cold as a heart
I begged escape from beauty
And the things it can impart
I slipped into the river
It bore me on it's breast
I expected to go down to death
But the river gave me rest

River wide, river deep
River please won't you keep
The sorrows I left behind
Before I change my mind
River flow me away from here
River flow me away

The river bore me onward
On the arms of her sweet waves
And washed me to a new land
Far from dark and shallow graves
I recommend the river
If you need to lose your pain
And wash away to a better place
brighter skies and cleaner rain

River wide, river deep
River please won't you keep
The sorrows I left behind
Before I change my mind
River flow me away from here
River flow me away

If you're torn and tripped up
Here's some good advice
A wise old soul once told me
You can't fall in the same river twice

River wide, river deep
River please won't you keep
The sorrows I left behind
Before I change my mind
River flow me away from here
River flow me away
