Cross Every River - Maria Arredondo

Whiskey river take my mind Don't let her mem'ry torture me Whiskey river don't run dry Yeah, you're hurt, so I got to carry me Whiskey river take my mind Don't let her mem'ry torture me Whiskey river don't run dry Yeah, you're hurt, so I got to carry me I'm drowning in a whiskey river Bathing my mem'ry in the wetness of my soul Feeling the amber current flowin' from my mind And warm an empty heart you left so cold Whiskey river take my mind Don't let her mem'ry torture me Whiskey river don't run dry Yeah, you're hurt, so I got to carry me I'm drowning in a whiskey river Bathing my mem'ry in the wetness of my soul Feeling the amber current flowin' from my mind And warm an empty heart you left so cold. Whiskey river take my mind Don't let her mem'ry torture me Whiskey river don't run dry Yeah, you're hurt, so I got to carry me Whiskey river take my mind Don't let her mem'ry torture me Whiskey river don't run dry Yeah, you're hurt, so I got to carry me

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 shown no more She's heard no whistle blowin' from the door 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 ...

Oh the women 'cross the river carry water from the well at break of day And they talk to one another; God only knows what they might say You might get an education after years of dedication You might finally get a glimpse of what is right and what is wrong But the women 'cross the river; well they knew that all along Oh the women 'cross the river work with tools that are ancient and hand-made And they plow their fields in perfect rows and then they rest beneath the shade Now we have learned to build, out of concrete, out of steel And our buildings stand a thousand years but then even they are bound to fall But the women 'cross the river never learned to build a wall Oh the women 'cross the river are as gentle as the dew upon the ground How I love to hear them laughing in the rain when it makes that perfect sound Now a soldier with a gun and a battle to be won Might kill you with a bullet and you never even know the reason why But the women 'cross the river; they can kill you with their eyes Oh the women 'cross the river; they can kill you with their eyes

We think about the loves we lost Will it come again? We think of all the things we want Will we ever win? We listen to the voice of children Will they find their way Keep an open heart The answer to it all's a wish away Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you To the dream that's waitin' to find you 'Cause there's one more chance With every turn of the world Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom Or the strong warm touch of a body There are all these things With every turn of the world Human kindness diamond of the heart Tearing down the old walls As long as we can share Desire's not a sin, after all When you find yourself alone Missing tender magic touching you Keep an open heart Everything you dream can still be true Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you To the dream that's waitin' to find you 'Cause there's one more chance With every turn of the world Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom Or the strong warm touch of a body There are all these things With every turn of the world Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you To the dream that's waitin' to find you 'Cause there's one more chance With every turn of the world We all want a world we can live in We all want a world full of love It's never too late, it's never too soon Whatever you can do is enough Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you To the dream that's waitin' to find you 'Cause there's one more chance With every turn of the world Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom Or the strong warm touch of a body There are all these things With every turn of the world Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you To the dream that's waitin' to find you 'Cause there's one more chance With every turn of the world Is it gold or glory a taste of freedom Or the strong warm touch of a body There are all these things With every turn of the world

Haven't heard your voice in quite a while Haven't seen you dance or seen you smile I can go days where nothing is wrong But it just doesn't last very long Every time I see a river Every time I hear a train Every time I hear a sad song It reminds me of what we had then Every time I see a river Feels like I'm back in love again My life seems together and I'm doing just fine But I remember when I was yours and you were mine I don't need your picture on the wall I don't need anything at all But every time I see a river Every time I hear a train Every time I hear a sad song It reminds me of what we had then Every time I see a river Feels like I'm back in love again I just can't stand the pain Haven't heard your voice in quite a while Haven't seen you dance or seen you smile I can go days where nothing is wrong It just don't last for very long Every time I see a river Every time I hear a train Every time I hear a sad song I remember what we had then We had then Every time I see a river Feels like I'm back in love again I just can't stand it no more Can't stand it no more Every time I see a river Running, running, running Running, running, running, running Running and running and running And running and running and running Running away every time I see a river Can't stand the pain Feels like I'm back there again Running and running and running

Kom la oss dra avsted, Følge vismenns gamle lei, Til byen i det fjerne Skal våre lengsler finne vei. Vi går i stjerneskjær Mot en liten enkel stall, Til barnet i en krybbe, Er det vår pilgrims-skares skal. Vi blir ledet av en stjerne Mot den nye kongens by. I våre mørke vinternetter Er den tent påny. Og ser vi oss omkring Der vår vandring skrider frem, Fra alle land på jorden Går det barn mot Betlehem. Gjennom tusen glemte år Vil vi følge stjernens glans, Til vi har funnet kongen Og vi står ved krybben hans. Vi blir ledet av en stjerne Mot den nye kongens by. I våre mørke vinternetter Er den tent påny. Og når vi kommer inn Ser vi barnet sove trygt. Marias øyne smiler, Det lyser varmt fra Josefs lykt. Så kneler alle ned, Vi bærer frem vår største skatt. Og jeg vil gi det sangen Som fyller hjertet mitt i natt. Vi blir ledet av en stjerne Mot den nye kongens by. I våre mørke vinternetter Er den tent påny. I våre mørke vinternetter Er den tent påny.
