show of hands - cruel river lyrics
i worked on her father’s farm
long hours of labour in the hills
sharp of mind and strong of arm
he blessed the day he found me
saw me as another son
raised me as his own until
his daughter’s love i finally won
so he cursed the light around me
he said dart, cruel river dart
every year you claim a heart
you’ve taken hers, you’ve broken mine
you cruel old river
arm in arm out on the ridge
we lay together in the sun
beneath thе tor and beyond the bridge
in hеr arms they caught me
one brother kept my love at bay
two brothers held me firm and strong
then he fell upon me in such a rage
and a bitter lesson there he taught me
then begging them to leave me be
she broke away and stood alone
just where the rocks bent down the trees
above the roaring water
swift and sharp a summer storm
had raised this river into flood
and it’s there he reached to take her arm
and it’s there he lost his daughter
