Was it something I said that made you angry with me.
Made you dig a deep river to keep you from me.
Oh, the water is rushing, come to sweep me away
'Less I die of sorrow, I will cross it today. 

chorus
I would build me a bridge a hundred meters long
To see the other side of what I did wrong
Well you say you don't hate me, but I guess that I'm 
scared
That with a river between us, you'll no longer care.

I would build a boat, and paddle agaist all sorrow.
And if I sail down the river, then I'll be back again 
tomorrow.
And if I fall in the river, I'll be warmed by your sight. 
(chorus)
I would beg your forgiveness for the pain I've fed
And I'd find the source of the river you've bled.
Then I'd close the gates of the dam I built there.
And never again will you have anything to fear. 
(chorus)
Well I never knew that your tears ran so deep.
But when I'ved dammed those tears, I will kiss your sweet 
cheek.
I will hold you close 'till your tears finally cease.
And I'll sing you a lullaby to bring you peace.
