Roll on Muddy River, roll on for me. For soon I get to see my sweet baby.
I have walked my thousandth mile, just to see her pretty smile.
I'd leave this world for her,
So roll on for me.

Shine on Burning Sun, shine on for me. Your warmth and love just can't set me free.
I'm cold and grey on your brightest day, when my baby is away.
She's all I need in life, so shine on for me.

Keep on Father Time, keep on for me. I know your trick of immortality.
Life may be a fleeting blur,
But my love for her is forever.
You cannot hold me down, so keep on for me.



She fought the fate of death. She fought for me.
I thought we had a lifetime to be.
She said one last wish before I go, I wanna tell you that I love you so.
Curse the hand of God. She fought for me.

Wait for me my love. wait for me.
I'll be with you soon, you will see.
I'm close behind, nothing left in my heart, I wanna be with you in the endless dark.
We'll never be alone, so wait for me.

So long beautiful world, so long from me. I'm leaving you behind to be happy. There is no way I could go on, with my only passion gone.
I'm forever with my love, so long from me.


And roll on Muddy River, roll on.
And shine on Burning Sun, shine on.
And keep on Father Time, keep on.
So long beautiful world, so long.
