[Verse 1]
Hold me, hold me
I’m afraid ... oh that river my Darling
I’m crossing over that river my Darling
When we lay side by side these days
I can’t seem to reach you
Ears cannot hear
The deaf one is you
You’ve left me, darling

[Chorus]
Hold me, hold me
I’m afraid ... oh that river my darling
I’m crossing over that river my darling

[Verse 2]
You are far. As far as the dream of a prisoner:
Sun rising out of the earth
Like fire
Open your mouth
My beloved (and) hold me

[Chorus]
Hold me, hold me
I’m afraid ... oh that river my darling
I’m crossing over that river my darling
Hold me, hold mе
I’m afraid ... oh that river my darling
I’m crossing over that river my darling
I’m afraid ... oh that rivеr my darling
I’m crossing over that river my darling
