Long River Lyrics

Gordon Lightfoot Long River Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:
VRS 1:
Where the long river flows
It flows by my window
Where the tall timber grows
It grows 'round my door
Where the mountains meet the sky
And the white clouds fly
Where the long river flows, by my window
VRS 2:
There's a tiny bird that calls
And it 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
INTRLU (whistle):
VRS 3:
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
VRS 4:
Well, when this land was made
It was made full of wonders
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
