River's Invitation

Ive been all across the country, and Ive stayed in every town;
You see, Im trying to find my baby, and he ain't nowhere around... Can you understand?
You know which way Im heading , if my baby can't be found... oh, yeah...
Well, I spoke to the river, and the river, the river spoke back to me;
It said, 'Oh! You look so lonely, and so much full of misery... Yes, you do now...
If you cant find your baby, come on, girl, and make your home with me. Oh, yeah...'
I dont wanna leave him - No, I know, I know he's still alive!
And someday, Im gonna find him, and hes gonna take me for a ride... Yes, he will now...
And then well live forever and ever and ever, forever and ever among the tides... Oh, yes, we will!
Just in case I dont find him, Im gonna take that rivers invitation... rivers invitation...
Oh, oh, the river! Oh, oh, the river!
Oh, the river, yeah... Oh, rivers invitation...
Yeah, the river...
