The River`s Too Wide Lyrics

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
