the river unbroken
Waiting for the train to come  I keep a'waiting for the train to come  Dreamin' of the river and the rising sun  I keep thinkin' 'bout the world to come   My life packed up in a suitcase  Old man staring from a doorway  My hope tarries in the distance  Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance   Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow   Waitin' for the train to come  I keep waitin' for the train to come  Keepin' my appointment with the one who lives  In the heart of everything that is   All night sleepin' in a station  My God, it's hard not to be impatient  I watch through the windows of forgiveness  I cry but my word's my only witness   Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow  Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow   Sometimes I feel I can't go on, I can't go on  I get so tired, all passion's gone  My heart, my head, my arms, my legs, I get so tired  Without the strength to crawl away  Then something breaks inside my soul, My strength is gone  That spirit's finally taking hold  My ears can hear, my eyes can see  Those clouds of joy still cover me, cover me, cover me   Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow  Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow   Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is, where is the river unbroken  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow   Fade:  Waiting for the train to come  I keep waiting for the train to come...
