There's a little girl out lying on her own She's got a broken heart She's not the kind to take you down for long She knows and plays it smart And if she's coming she's showed no mark She's heard no whistle blowing from the dark She feels like leaving and she don't know why Without no bridges she's trapped so I sigh Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denying living on the other side All your life you were on your own If you want you can ride my train And soon forget the reason that you're leaving Lose yourself and then sometime Maybe even save yourself some grieving Oh oh oh Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denying living on the other side Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denying living on the other side Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
