It's been a long day
A long day and I'm tired
It's been a long day
And now it's over, I'm on my way home
Yes, I'm on my way home
The river still
And on my way home
I thought of the time that had passed
All alone on way home
And all I could think of were times gone by
Yes, the times gone by
Soon we're gone
Sometimes the river runs high
Sometimes the river runs low
Sometimes the river runs fast
Sometimes the river runs slow
Sweat's pouring down
Roll up my sleeves; rub my eyes
Avoid the shortcut through the tall trees
Take the long way home
Take the long way home
Soon you're gone
Sometimes the river runs high
Sometimes the river runs low
Sometimes the river runs fast
Sometimes the river runs slow
It's been a long day
A long day and I'm tired
It's been a long day
And now it's over, I'm on my way home
Yes, I'm on my way home
The river still
