You told me you listen to my sad songs
When you're falling asleep
You told me you're lonely and you're down
How I know how cruel the world can be
Cry, River, cry if you're wanting to
Here's another line to make you blue
Where does a mother want to go?
Where the sunlight bends and the work of love grows
Wind, River, wind, don't go straight
Shine, River, shine your beautiful face
Cry, River, cry if you're wanting to
Here's another line to make you blue
Cry, River, cry, the world is cruel
Here's another line to make you blue
To make you blue
To make you blue
