Lost River Songtext
von Dwight McCall

There′s a lost river that flows in the valley where no one
Goes, where the wild waters rush, rumbles deep in the hush
I've gone far from there now
Lord, I′ll get back somehow, where the lost
River winds in the shadow of the pine
Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back to the
Potbelly stove where the fire woods all stack
I'll come back, girl, go with me, I′m compelled, girl, to
Be where the lost river winds in the shadow of the pine
Now everybody knows where that lost river flows, it′s some
Place he's lost behind the bridges that he′s crossed
He'd like to return but the bridges are all burned
And it′s much too far down to return to higher ground
Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back to the
Potbelly stove where the fire woods all stack I′ll come back, girl, go with me, I'm compelled, girl, to
Be where the lost river winds in the shadow of the pine
Oh, lost river, far over the ridge
Now is it too late for me to build me a new bridge?
To the bright golden time when her love was still mine
And the world was still wild like the heart of a child
Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back to the
Potbelly stove where the fire woods all stack
I′ll come back, girl, go with me, I′m compelled, girl, to
Be where the lost river winds in the shadow of the pine
Oh, lost river, now I'm coming back to the
Potbelly stove where the fire woods all stack
I′ll come back, girl, go with me, I'm compelled, girl, to
Be where the lost river winds in the shadow of the pine
