Lyrics
River Landing
I'm gonna leave you by the river
Cause you're too frantic for me to stay
I'm gonna leave you by the river
Cause you're just not going my way
The banks are firm, the water is high
That boat will cross me by and by
I'm gonna leave you on the levee
And don't you think that I won't cry
Bridge
You're always set in motion, your life is a blur
You don't stop and listen, I don't know if you care
Everyone demands a piece of you, you squander all your time
You're a slave to their unceasing needs, but definitely not mine
Not to mine, no not to mine, ooohh
Guitar lead
So now you're stuck here by the river
And I can't wait another day
You're stranded on the landing
And that's one less bag I have to pay
So baby, I'll drop you by the river
Cause that boat is calling me
And if you're too busy to hear it
Then the riverbank is where you'll stay
Yeah the riverbank is where you'll stay
Yeah baby the riverbank is where you'll stay
Where you'll stay, oh, where you'll stay oh, where you'll stay
Yeah baby I'll drop you...
