There's a tiny bird that calls
And he calls by my window
There's a lonely tear that falls
And it falls 'round my door
But when the sun is high
There's no time to cry
Where the long river flows, by my window

Now if only you could see
The closing of the day
If only you could be
Where the dawn breaks away
By the white cascade
Oh down in the glade
Where the long river flows, by my window

Well when this land was made
It was made full of wonder
But one woman's love
I can't understand
And I'd give it all to you
If her love were true
Where the long river flows, by my window
Where the long river flows, by my window
