Flow me a river, and that's where I'll stay
Down to the water where the sail boats sway
And I'll drown my sorrows in the harbour today
So flow me a river, and that's where I'll stay
Tell me a secret I can take to the grave
On the crash of the sea, on the break of the wave
I could drown in the current but I'll try to be brave
You can tell me a secret I can take to the grave
Sometimes it's so hard to love and hard to live
And sometimes I am always cold and I always shiver
And sometimes it's so hard to find my way
For I need you at the break of my day
I need you at the break of my day
Flow me a river that'll pour to the sea
And I'll hold you tightly on the road past the quay
If I told you I loved you, would it set us both free?
So flow me a river that'll pour to the sea
Come be my lover, make my dreams right
Come to my boat by the first morning light
We could hide in the water
Instead of hiding the night
Come be my lover, and make my dreams right
For with you it's not hard to love, nor hard to live
And with you I am never cold and I never shiver
And with you it's not hard to find my way
But I need you at the break of my day
I need you at the break of my day
I need you at the break of my day
Need you at the break of my day
Flow me a river that'll pour to the sea
And I'll hold you tightly on the road past the quay
If I told you I loved you, would it set us both free?
So flow me a river that'll pour to the sea
