if you had a river and I had ship to sail
would you give me shelter, a place to hide from the rain

I long for the wide open ocean I do
but if I had to live somewhere, I'd live there with you
only you

so don't look at the clouds, they are dark and foreboding
we need some direction to know where we're going

and at night on the road by the blue dashboard light
I'll be thinking of you and what you'd be doing right now

my loyalty's fixed, I am your friend
but I'm a crooked stick from end to end
be my river, carry me home

I'm a confident man, my house was build with stones
there'll be true love waiting for me when I get home

I long for the wide open ocean I do
but if I had to live somewhere, I'd live there with you

my loyalty's fixed, I am your friend
but I'm a crooked stick from end to end
be my river, carry me home

I long for the wide open ocean I do
but if I had to live somewhere, I'd live there with you

my loyalty's fixed, I am your friend
but I'm a crooked stick from end to end
be my river, carry me home
