Reba McEntire › Lyrics › Old Man River (I've Come to Talk Again)

Cool breeze on the river ripples to the shore
Wash away my troubles to the sea forever more
Wind and willows whisper, sadness is the sound
Tell a tale of my wants, happy world that's falling down
Old man I might be going where you're bound

Old man river, I've come to talk again
Yes, I know you're tired
'Cause your journey never ends
He's just like you, he's moving all the time
And I think he's moving me out of his mind

I want to travel with you in your deep and nimble soul
That's the only way to make it peaceful like before
We used to touch at midnight but now I feel he's gone
Even though he's lying next to me I feel alone
Oh man it looks like I'm to travel alone

Old man river, I've come to talk again
Yes, I know you're tired
'Cause your journey never ends
He's just like you, he's moving all the time
And I think he's moving me out of his mind

Old man river, I've come to talk again
Yes, I know you're tired
'Cause your journey never ends
He's just like you, he's moving all the time
And I think he's moving me out of his mind
