Tonight We Cross The River
from Water on Stone by Black
lyrics
You can travel the world
Go the whole world over
And still be where you are
And still be where you are
I travelled the world
Went the whole world over
And still was where I was
I still was where I was
Not a fighter not a lover not even a forgiver
Tonight we cross the river
You’re my whole world
I’d go your whole world over
To leave you as you are
To leave you as you are
As a fighter and a lover and even a forgiver
Tonight we cross the river
Cross the river
Breaking into a kind of idiot grin
I woke up in your car with the water coming in
As a fighter and a lover
Hell, even a forgiver
Tonight we cross the river
We cross the river
Go the whole world over
And still be where you are
And still be where you are
I travelled the world
Went the whole world over
And still was where I was
I still was where I was
Not a fighter not a lover not even a forgiver
Tonight we cross the river
You’re my whole world
I’d go your whole world over
To leave you as you are
To leave you as you are
As a fighter and a lover and even a forgiver
Tonight we cross the river
Cross the river
Breaking into a kind of idiot grin
I woke up in your car with the water coming in
As a fighter and a lover
Hell, even a forgiver
Tonight we cross the river
We cross the river
