Lyrics:

Far away the river flows forever on
The sun goes down and the waves roll back the tide
Yesterday is done and my time has come
Far away I2m on the run

All is done that may be done, I stand across the main
I2ll bet all my money there2s no way back again
A chance as good as any, I2m glad for what I2ve done
I stand across the water far away I2m on the run

[chorus:]
Far away the river flows forever on
The sun goes down and the waves roll back the tide
Yesterday is done and my time has come
Far away I2m on the run
Far away the river flows forever on
The sun goes down and the waves roll back the tide
Yesterday is done and my time has come
Far away I2m on the run

I rose up right and early and the lights are dim and low
The breeze could tell you my tales while all the rivers flow
The good time I2ve had plenty in this race that I have run
I stand across the water far away I2m on the run

The breath of air is howling catch the waves as they roll out
Come sing a song of freedom, come sing it clear and loud
A long long time to travel since this journey had begun
I stand across the water far away I2m on the run

[chorus]
