Intro
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
(Ah--) And if she s comin she s showed 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
Don t cross the river if you can t swim the tide
Don t try denyin livin on the other side
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
You ll lose yourself and then sometime
Maybe even save yourself some grievin
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don t cross the river if you can t swim the tide
Don t try denyin livin on the other side
Don t cross the river if you can t swim the tide
Don t try denyin livin on the other side
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 ...
