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 |
