There's  a little girl out lyin'  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
 (Ah--) And  if she's comin'  she's  showed no mark
 She's  heard no whistle  blowin'  from the dark
She  feels like leavin'  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 denyin'  livin' 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
You'll  lose yourself and then  sometime
 Maybe  even save  yourself some grievin'
Oh, oh, oh,  oh
 Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
 Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
 Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
 Don't try denyin' livin' 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 ...
