Flow me a river, and that’s where I’ll stay Down to the water where the sail boats sway And I’ll drown my sorrows in the harbour today So flow me a river, and that’s where I’ll stay
Tell me a secret I can take to the grave On the crash of the sea, on the break of the wave I could drown in the current but I’ll try to be brave You can tell me a secret I can take to the grave
Sometimes it’s so hard to love and hard to live And sometimes I am always cold and I always shiver And sometimes it’s so hard to find my way For I need you at the break of my day I need you at the break of my day
Flow me a river that’ll pour to the sea And I’ll hold you tightly on the road past the quay If I told you I loved you, would it set us both free? So flow me a river that’ll pour to the sea
Come be my lover, make my dreams right Come to my boat by the first morning light We could hide in the water Instead of hiding the night Come be my lover, and make my dreams right
For with you it’s not hard to love, nor hard to live And with you I am never cold and I never shiver And with you it’s not hard to find my way But I need you at the break of my day I need you at the break of my day I need you at the break of my day Need you at the break of my day
Flow me a river that’ll pour to the sea And I’ll hold you tightly on the road past the quay If I told you I loved you, would it set us both free? So flow me a river that’ll pour to the sea
