THERE'S A RIVER, SWEET VIRGINIA

You walked the garden wall with me
Walked the garden wall with me
Could have had eternity
And we came upon the secret tree
Turned us out eventually
We took the muddy Euphrates

There's a river, Sweet Virginia
Rolling out, it's like a dream
Join me now, you have it in you
We'll come around

And east became Assyria
And east became Assyria
And trouble found me near to you
You found it hard to hold my hand
You found it hard to hold my hand
We climbed the rocks across the sand

There's a river, Sweet Virginia
Rolling out, it's like a dream
Join me now, you have it in you
We'll come around

And it's all been said and done before
It's all been said and done before
We stayed until the waters pulled us through
I'm waiting for the time
And I am waiting for the time and
I'm prepared to wait a lifetime over you

There's a river, Sweet Virginia
Rolling out, it's like a dream
Hold me now, you have it in you
