River's Invitation

(P. Mayfield)



I've been all across the country

And I've stayed in every town

Because I'm trying to find my baby

But no one has seen her around

And you know which way I'm headed

If my baby can't be found



I spoke to the river

And the river spoke back to me

It said man you look so lonely

You look full of misery

And if you can't find your baby

Come and make your home with me



Well, I don't want to leave her

Because I know she's still alive

And someday I'm going to find her

And I'll take her for a ride

And we'll spend our days forever

In our home beneath the tide
