Long River
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot; Neil Chotem; Bonnie Dobson



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

There's a tiny bird that calls and he 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

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

Well when this land was made, it was made full of wonder
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
