Lyrics

Oh, on the bank of the river
Where we used to go
To waste away our summers
And watch the waters flow
 
Then the war came
 
Tell me now why don't you come back home
I never understood, why did you roam so far away
Leave me yesterday
 
They fought to save our country
They thought they fought for right
But every soul fought for something
And a nation trembled in the night
 
The war they could have lost without you
Why did you leave me all alone
I've been waiting here to see you
Come back to the river come back home
 
Oh, on the bank of the river
Where we used to go
To waste away the summers
And watch the waters flow
 
Then the war came
 
The war they could have lost without you
Why did you leave me all alone
I've been waiting here to see you
Come back to the river,  come back home
 
Oh, on the bank of the river
River, river running dry
Slowly, slowly life is leaving here
I watch alone the river die
