[Verse 1]
You promised me there'd be no denials
When I was weak under your spell
When I feel thirsty you would not let me
Take water from your well

[Refrain]
Well big black road
Big black river
Big black heaven in the sky above
I need someone I can talk to
I need someone I can love

[Verse 2]
So I went down to that valley
To a boy that I once knew
And he looked at me so tender
Oh baby like you used to do

[Refrain]
Well big black road
Big black river
Big black heaven in the sky above
I need someone I can talk to
I need someone I can love
[Verse 3]
So I crossed that river of temptation
And I lay down in that young boys arms
And there I claimed my destination
Through this one last unforgiving harm

[Refrain]
Well big black road
Big black river
Big black heaven in the sky above
I need someone I can talk to
I need someone I can love
