Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu "Across the River" oleh Bruce Hornsby.
D
Well, she moved back around here
F Am D
Thirty-five weeks ago today
G D
Oh, down the lane
D F Am
Well, at night she walks on the banks
D G
And remembers how she dreamed of rowing away
D
And how she left one day
Am G
She left with a driven look in her eyes
D
Came back around with it still inside
Am
They said give it some time
G
And you'll forget about it too
D
We know they always do
[Chorus]
D
Well, I know some fine day
C
You will find your way
G D
Across the river, across the river
D
Row down slow
C D
There's a long way to go
D
Across the river, across the river
D
She was proud and so strong
F Am D
But she tried not to listen to idle talk
G D
Downtown where she walked
D
Well, they sit around and they say
F Am D
That she came back with her tail between her legs
G D
Like they always said she would
Am G
Well, I hear it's better on the other side
D
They say you'll never do it so don't even try
Am G
Well, you may be beaten down with your closed mind
D
But don't try to make it mine
[Kembali ke Chorus]
D
"Your wild days are through"
F Am D
Is what they said
G D
I dreamed she came, and I went down
D F Am
And I walked where she led standing on the shore
D G
She looks to the west with a look of longing
D
To where the grass seems greener
Am G
Well, there's a hard and distant prize
D
It probably won't happen but I think I'll try
Am G
Well, even if it doesn't happen for me
D
It still beats hanging around here
