Rankin Family - The River lyrics

When you cross that river

The trees they will bow down

The sky will open up to you

And the lark will sing your song

When you cross that river

The path will follow you

And the winds they will caress your lips

And the fires they'll burn strong

Until then... yeah yeah

The pastures seem greener on the other side

Alexander don't bide your time uneasily

When you cross that river

The rains will be your wine

The brambles your mandolins

The earth to dance upon

When you cross that river

The moon will give you rest

The night will be your blanket

And the sun your morning guest

When you cross that river

Boudicca you will wed

Fuareg you will feast upon

Mirth your wedding bed

When you cross that river

Your fields will plenty reap

Your children like every spring

Will autumn keep
