lost on the river dark is the night just like the blind praying for sight drifting alone heart filled with strife i m lost on the river the river of life once dear i thought i knew the way but that was before old sad yesterday words that you told me cut like a knife i m lost on the river the river of life out on this river where sorrow creeps thinking of you and how my heart weeps tomorrow you ll be another man s wife and i m lost on the river the river of life
