Sittin By The River
sittin by the river, thinkin bout you
watching the water that looks so blue
sittin by the river watching it flow
will it drown her memory, I just don't know
rememories of her locked in my mind
sealed in my thoughts,unmoved by time
sittin by the river, love makes you drunk , like drinking
wine, the river knows she made a fool of you
she took your love just for fun, you didn't see it coming
you'll never learn
she never loved you it was plain, it takes a fool to play
this crazy game
you sit by the river, closed in by the pain
hoping your heart can take the strain, the river shouts
out, you are down and out and blue, you might have
known, love would make a fool of you
her only plan, never to be true
love is blind, that's what is said, fools rush to it everyday
sittin by the river, you hear it say, love is a game
we all play
Widmarc Clarks
