Long River
Gordon Lightfoot
| _ __ |__ |__ |_ _ _ | _ | Where the long river flows______ It flows by my window____ Where the tall timber grows______ It grows 'round my door____ Where the mountains meet the sky______ And the white clouds fly__ Where the long river flows__ _____ by my window There's a tiny bird that calls____ And it calls by my window__ There's a lonely tear that falls____ And it falls 'round my door__ But when the sun is high______ There's no time to cry__ Where the long river flows__ _____ by my window |__ |_ _ _ |__ |__ | (sifflé) |_ _ _ |__ | Now if only you could see______ The closing of the day_____ If only you could be____ Where the dawn breaks away___ By the white cascade______ Oh, down in the glade____ Where the long river flows________ by my window Well, when this land was made____ It was made full of wonders______ But one woman's love______ I can't understand__ And I'd give it all to you______ If her love were true__ Where the long river flows__ _____ by my window Where the long river flows__ _____ _______ by my window |__ |_ |!
