Far, far, far 'cross the river
A man was calling out to me
Oh I can't hear what he's saying but I know he let me be
Oh I beg him to release me
Oh but he will not set me free

His arms reach 'cross the river
And his hands then touch my face
The sun is slowly sinking down
Oh I know I know I must leave this place

I take hold of my hand baby
And then I trend in his place baby

Far 'cross the river
A man was calling out to me
Oh I can't hear what he's saying but I know he let me be
Oh I beg him to release me
Oh but he will not set me free, no

A silence calms my madness
And it won't try to enter my mind
For I walk across the river
It might tell me it's time
I no longer have my pride now
I think it's gonna work out fine
Yeah it's gonna work out
Yeah it's gonna work out
