Текст песни Across the River (Live 1980) - Willie Nile

I saw you walking, I heard you cry
I saw you leave, I womder why
Were they all, cruel to you
breal your heart, through and through

Put your head down in my arms
and tell me what went wrong

Across the river, arcoss the bay
people starving, every day
nearly naked, pale and wan
with crowds of people, looking on

Hearts and pounding, heads are still
as tears begin to fall, I'm dreaming

Baby, hold me, always let me know
Darling, hold me, never let me do

I saw you walking, I heard you cry
I saw you leave, I womder why
all those ages, all these years
as tears begin to fall, I'm dreaming

Baby, hold me, always let me know
Darling, hold me, never let me do
