It's been a long day
A long day, and I'm tired
It's been a long day
And now it's over
I'm on my way home
Yes I'm on my way home
The river still

And on my way home
I thought of the times that had past
All alone on way home
And all I could think of were times gone by
Yes the times gone by
Soon we're gone

Sometimes the river runs high
Sometimes the river runs low
Sometimes the river runs fast
Sometimes the river runs slow

Sweats pouring down
I roll up my sleeves, rub my eyes
And avoid the shortcut through the tall trees
Take the long way home
Take the long way home
Soon you're gone

Sometimes the river runs high
Sometimes the river runs low
Sometimes the river runs fast
Sometimes the river runs slow
But it's been a long day
A long day, and I'm tired
It's been a long day
And now it's over
I'm on my way home
Yes I'm on my way home
The river still
