Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Lost River lyrics

There's a lost river that flows<br>In a valley where no on e goes,<br>Where the wild water's rush<br>Rumbles deep in the hush.<br><br>Gone far from there now,<br>Lord I'll be back somehow<br>To where the lost river winds<br>In the shadow of the pines<br><br>Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back<br>To the pot-belly stove, where the firewood's all stacked<br>Oh quebec girl, go with me,<br>Oh my bell, my fleur de lis,<br>Where the lost river winds<br>In the shadow of the pines<br><br>Now every body knows<br>Where that lost river flows<br>It's someplace he's lost<br>Behind bridges that he's crossed<br><br>Well, he'd like to return,<br>But his bridges are all burned<br>And he's much too far down<br>To return to higher ground<br><br>Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back<br>To the pot-belly stove, where the firewood's all stacked<br>Oh quebec girl, go with me,<br>Oh my bell, my fleur de lis,<br>Where the lost river winds<br>In the shadow of the pines<br><br>Oh lost river, far over ther ridge<br>Now is it too late for me to build me a new bridge? <br>To the bright golden time<br>When her love was still mine<br>And the world was still wild<br>Like the heart of a child<br><br>Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back<br>To the pot-belly stove, where the firewood's all stacked<br>Oh quebec girl, go with me,<br>Oh my bell, my fleur de lis,<br>Where the lost river winds<br>In the shadow of the pines<br><br>Where the lost river winds<br>In the shadow of the pines
