- A River So Wide 

 
- A River So Wide

 

The title track of our upcoming CD, "A River So Wide" is a song drawn from personal experience. The law of Karma dictates that what goes around will eventually come back around. It's also a song about getting #%*# over and coming out the other side. Eric offers some exquisite slide work which plays nicely off Nolan's mandolin.

Track 2 of A River So Wide (2007)
* Also featured on A Fine Kettle of Fish (2004)

Well the water is deep and the river is wide
Never seen it boil & churn'til I was swept deep inside
So what you gonna do when it's all sinks in?
No one's there to thrown you a line
And now it's sink or swim in that river so wide

Well I'd never been lost in the forest so deep
Never stepped such a treacherous path
Or seen a fall so steep
Standing alone when the wolves closed in
If you ever wanna get outta this
You better see you don't slip in the forest so deep

And time will grind down the hardest heel
And when every dog has had it's day
you're gonna know?. how it feels

Well I never once dreamed that I would see a day
When the people I called my friends
Would just turn & walk away
You can go on believing the worst until it's all you see
You can spread your rumours around
And point the fat finger at me, you know it's alright
I'm staring at the clear blue sky

And time will grind down the hardest heel
When every dog has had it's day
You're gonna know?. how it feels

Well I swear I've never seen that river so high
Never seen such a turbulent tide 'til I was swept up inside
It's whacha gonna do when the walls close in
Before you hit rock bottom boy
You better know how to swim
The river's so wide
The river so wide
