Rankin Family The River
When you cross that river The trees they will bow down The sky will open up to you And the lark will sing your song When you cross that river The path will follow you And the winds they will caress your lips And the fires they'll burn strong Until then... yeah yeah The pastures seem greener on the other side Alexander don't bide your time uneasily When you cross that river The rains will be your wine The brambles your mandolins The earth to dance upon When you cross that river The moon will give you rest The night will be your blanket And the sun your morning guest When you cross that river Boudicca you will wed Fuareg you will feast upon Mirth your wedding bed When you cross that river Your fields will plenty reap Your children like every spring Will autumn keep
