Alison Krauss Gentle River song lyrics

(John Pennell)

I've lived a life full of sorrow

With nowhere to run or to hide

Happiness you'll see is borrowed

All I want is you by my side.

Gentle river take me away

To the time of happier days

All I need is love and company

Gentle river bring him back to me.

You can spend all your time a crying

Listen here I don't need your sympathy

'Cause I've made my life to live it

All I need is you here with me.

Gentle river take me away

To the time of happier days

All I need is love and company

Gentle river bring him back to me.

Gentle river bring him back to me...
