There's a little girl out lyin' on her own

She's got a broken heart

She's not the kind to take you down for long

She knows and plays it smart



(ah--) and if she's comin' she's showed no mark

She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark

She feels like leavin' and she don't know why

Without no bridges she's trapped, so i sigh



Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide

Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side

All your life

You were on your own



If you want you can ride my train

And soon forget the reason that you're leaving

You'll lose yourself and then sometime

Maybe even save yourself some grievin'



Oh, oh, oh, oh



Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide

Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide

Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide

Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...
