Mmmm
if you listen
you can hear it call
wail-a-ree
There's a river
called the river
of no return....
Sometimes it's peaceful
and sometimes
wild and free...
Love is a traveller
on the river
of no return...
Swept on for ever
to be lost
in the stormy sea...
I can hear
the river call
No return
no return
I can hear my lover call
come to me...
I lost my love
on the river
and for ever my heart
will yearn
Gone, gone for ever
down the river
of no return...
Wail-a-ree
wail-a-re-e-ee
He'll never return
to me....
