Lyric The River s Too Wide

(Morrison)

The river s too wide now for crossing
The waters rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
Cause the river s too wide

A gentle stream once flowed between us
But love could cross it easily
Till stormy skies brought bitter teardrops
And made that stream a raging river
Come between you and me

The river s too wide now for crossing
The waters rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
There s no getting to the other side

The river s too wide now for crossing
The current goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
Cause the river s too wide

Good lessons learned are not forgotten
We gave up love to save our pride
Next time I m faced with rising waters
I ll build a bridge of love and kindness
Reaching to the other side

The river s too wide now for crossing
The waters rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
There s no getting to the other side

The river s too wide now for crossing
The current goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
Cause the river s too wide
