[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] And if she's comin' She's shown 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 [Chorus] Don't cross the river If you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' On the other side [Post Chorus] All your life You were on your own [Bridge] If you want you can ride my train And soon forget the reason that you're leaving Lose yourself and then sometime Maybe even save yourself some grievin' [Chorus] Don't cross the river If you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' On the other side [Chorus] Don't cross the river If you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' On the other side [Outro] 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
