Mekong River Delta Lyrics
I've been waiting on the day, when all my problems drift away
And all that I could hope to find, a little piece of my own mind
At the mercy of the tide, by these muddy banks I've cried
And wash my sins in her cool water
(Where a man can find his place)
At the mercy of the tide...
In the distance for an instant, I can see her standing!
By the river, where I feel her, it's a place where I find shelter
And I need her, I believe her, Mekong River Delta
I'm still waiting on the day, but my life gets in the way
I wish I had some time for you
(I don't know if you want me to)
The things we say but never do
In the distance for an instant, I can see her standing!
By the river, where I feel her, it's a place where I find shelter
And I need her, I believe her, Mekong River Delta
I can see her
I can see her
I can see her laughing
By the river, where I feel her, it's a place where I find shelter
And I need her, I believe her, Mekong River Delta
Mekong River Delta (x4)
And all that I could hope to find, a little piece of my own mind
At the mercy of the tide, by these muddy banks I've cried
And wash my sins in her cool water
(Where a man can find his place)
At the mercy of the tide...
And I need her, I believe her, Mekong River Delta
I wish I had some time for you
(I don't know if you want me to)
The things we say but never do
And I need her, I believe her, Mekong River Delta
I can see her
I can see her laughing
And I need her, I believe her, Mekong River Delta

I think the song is about his girlfriend, or about a Vietnamese woman he would like to be his girlfriend. "I am at the mercy of the tide" is how her mood changes through the month. "I see you in the distance by the river" is a reference to how her outlook is shaped by the culture of her parents.
