There is a black river
Em C
It passes by my window

And late at night

All dolled up like Christ
Em
I walk the water
C
Between the piers
[Chorus 1]

Singing woah,

River of time,
Em C G D
River of sorrow,
Em C
Don't swallow this time

For we all know the baby has expired
Em C
Long ago she was pulled from the mire
G D
And no precious liar or well-wisher
Em C
Can return the love that was stolen
[Chorus 2]

So oh,
Em C G D
River of sorrow,
Em C G D
River of time,
Em C G D
River of sorrow
Em C
Don't swallow this time
