The River Is Wide — текст песни (Deacon Blue and Ricky Ross)

The river is wide
The river is wide
The river is as broad and white as satan`s smile
The soul of man can never hide
The river is wide
The river is wide

The river is calm
The river is calm
The river`s as safe as a babe asleep in a mamma`s arms
The soul of man needs a soothing balm
The river is calm
The river is calm

The day is long
The day is long
The day`s own light is faint and wan
I`m as weak as I am strong
The river is wide
The day is long
