Lyrics:
CROSS THE RIVER
WRITER CARLY SIMON
A hot cloud was hanginÂ'around We were a rowdy crowd
DrinkinÂ'beer and smokinÂ' at the end of the pier Danny
move,
And choose the course you're running.
Down at the edge, round by the corner,
Not right away, not right away.
Close to the edge, down by a river
words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
It'll take a lot
words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
It'll take a lot
move,
And choose the course you're running.
Down at the edge, round by the corner,
Not right away, not right away.
Close to the edge, down by a river
As we cross from side to side, we hear the total mass retain
Down at the edge, round by the corner
Close to the end, down by a river
Seasons will
back, baby
Gotta leave your frozen paradise
Turn away and never
look back now
Many nights you spend alone
Many rivers you had to cross
No one can blame
by the corner,
Not right away, not right away
Close to the edge, down by a river,
Not right away, not right away
Crossed the line around
Well, there's a bridge
And there's a river
That I still must cross
As I'm going on my journey
Oh, I might be lost
And there's a road I have
Well, there's a bridge
And there's a river
That I still must cross
As I'm going on my journey
Oh, I might be lost
And there's a road I have
On either side of the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro’ the field the road run by
On either side of the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the world and meet the sky;
And thro' the field the road run by
On either side of the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the world and meet the sky;
And thro' the field the road run by
On either side of the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro’ the field the road run by
Wonderin' how to cross the river
On a cold and windy night
With the water ragin' higher
By the moon's shinin' light
Suddenly a man stepped
Together
Freedom for today
Tomorrow forever
So see the people's way
Many moons cascade one river
They light from side to side
As we cross in close
Viv by the gate cut from an old movie
Right down to the cleft of his Kirk Douglas chin
And Phyllis in the garden always dressed kinda groovy
In a 60s
On either side of the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro’ the field the road run by
On either side of the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro’ the field the road run by
On either side of the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro’ the field the road run by
On either side of the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro’ the field the road run by
Coochie-cooing my chin
The bird shuffling its little talons left, then right
While the leaves bristled
Against the plaster wall, two of them drifting
Onto my
And the light that I saw by, was the light that I was
And many's the time that I've passed by the river
And saw no tollman and needed no ferryman to cross
They shoulda Known
Put too many hours on the timesheet
They shoulda known
The sickest known
In the southern koncrete
They Shoulda known
Jay rivers never
