Across the River

Yeah, she moved back around here
 35 weeks ago today
 Oh down the lane
 At night she walks on the banks
 And remembers how she dreamed of rowing away
 And how she left one day
 She left with a driven look in her eyes
 Came back around with it still inside
 Take give it some time and you'll forget about it too
 We know they always do
 Well I know some fine day you will find your way
 Across the river, across the river
 Row down slow, there's a long way to go
 Across the river, across the river
 She was proud and so strong
 And she tried not to listen to idle talk
 Downtown where she walked
 Well they sit around and they say
 That she came back with her tail between her legs
 Like they always said she would
 Well I hear it's better on the other side
 They say you'll never do it so don't even try
 Well you may be beaten down with your closed mind
 But don't try to make it mine
 Well I know some fine day you will find your way
 Across the river, across the river
 Row down slow, there's a long way to go
 Across the river, across the river
 "Your wild days are through," is what they said
 I dreamed she came, when I was down
 And I walked where she led
 ♪
 Standing on the shore
 She looks to the west with a look of longing
 That the grass seems greener
 But there's a hard and distant prize
 It probably won't happen but I think I'll try
 Well even if it doesn't happen for me
 It still beats a hanging around here, well I know
 Some fine day you will find your way
 Across the river, across the river
 Row down slow, there's a long, long way to go
 Across the river, across the river, river
 Across the river
 Row down slow
 Across the river, across the river
 Some fine day
