River of Misery Lyrics

Sunrise paints the cotton fields, another day begins. But the shadows in my heart linger, where the River of Misery spins

I search every crook and cranny, for a love that feels like home. A woman to build a family, so I don't have to be alone

Oh, this River of Misery, it chills me to the bone. With every heartbreak, every tear, I feel further from my own- I'm drowning in this loneliness, with no lifeline in sight. Just a current of bad luck, pulling me into the night

Is it too much to ask for? Someone to share this life. To chase away these shadows, end this lonely strife

Church bells ringin' on Sunday mornin, families gather 'round. But I'm here at the diner, nursing coffee, feelin' lost and down. I see happy couples walkin, hand in hand beneath the trees. Their laughter echoes in my ears, a cruel and bitter breeze

Oh, this River of Misery, it chills me to the bone. With every heartbreak, every tear, I feel further from my own- I'm drowning in this loneliness, with no lifeline in sight. Just a current of bad luck, pulling me into the night

Is it too much to ask for? Someone to share this life. To chase away these shadows, end this lonely strife

Maybe I'm asking too much, maybe I dream in vain. Of a love that lasts forever, a heart that eases the pain. But hope flickers like a candle, in this darkness I reside. And I'll keep searching for that shore, where love and I collide

Oh, this River of Misery, it chills me to the bone. With every heartbreak, every tear, I feel further from my own. I'm drowning in this loneliness, with no lifeline in sight. But I'm gonna fight that current, with all my might.
