lyrics

I get this lonesome feelin’ sometimes when I’m kneelin’ down to pray.
I know God is listenin’ but sometimes she can seem so far away.
The days they keep crawlin’ but the years they keep fallin’ like rain.
And it’ll all come too soon when the ones I’ve spent beside you have gone away.

So may the sunlight keep you dry,
and may your lamp burn all through the night,
till I reach you on the other side,
but darlin’, ohhh, the river’s wide.

When I was a young boy I was never frightened of the night.
So now that I’ve grown older why am I afraid of the light?
The winter wind will call you, her melodies will haunt you by and by,
singin’, “It’ll all come to soon, when all that you once knew is left behind.”

So may your fears rest in your mind,
and may your sorrow sleep through the night,
till I reach you on the other side,
but darlin’, ohhh, the river’s wide.
