Buy Me a River

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the whole night through
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
I want to find me a river
Just a river of my own
And I'll ride with the river
Till the river takes me home
Takes me home
(Takes me home)
Takes me home
I want to find me a river
That reflects the experience
A river born in stillness
A river bred in turbulence
Turbulence
To find an arbitrating river
'Round obstructions in the way
There's a motion in drifting
To find a constant in a constant change
In a crucial time
At converging lines
To define a moving road or stagger blind
Lonely river
Sought at a point of growth
Narrow a path in a trial, in a self-trial
A discipline I suppose
Ceaseless river
Sought at a point of doubt
Narrow a path in a trial, in a self-trial
Alone
I want to find me a river
Just a river of my own
And I'll ride by the river
By the river I have grown
I have grown
(I have grown)
Well, I have grown too suspicious
And the world looks too vicious
And the river's resistance
And this river is a distance of my own
Of my own
I said, I'll find my a river
Just a river of my own
And I'll die by the river
'Cause the river is my home
Is my home
In a crucial time
At converging lines
To define a moving road or stagger blind
Lonely river
Sought at a point of growth
Narrow a path in a trial, in a self-trial
A discipline I suppose
Ceaseless river
Sought at a point of doubt
Narrow a path in a trial, in a self-trial
Alone
River
