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