Yesterday, I was born here And tomorrow, I'll be gone They say there's a man down Down, down in Persia Down there I guess I'll walk Walk along the Euphrates Talking bout the river The deep deep river The wide wide river The cold cold river The spiritual river The river of lies The river of lies So, let the traces linger on Many years have come and gone Oh, how lonely man has been Without a trace of a faceless friend Everyday brings us closer And every night, my soul sees I see a troubled mankind Suffering blindly So, I guess I'll walk Walk along the Euphrates Talking about the river So let the traces linger in Many years have come and gone Oh, how lonely man has been Without a trace of the faceless friend Really wanna say that Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday Yester-yester-yes-yes-yes-yesterday, I was born here So, I guess I'll walk Walk along the Euphrates Talking bout the river The deep The world wide The cold The spiritual I said the world is cold, yes yes yes Hey, the deep deep river, yeah yeah yeah yeah Talking about the deep, deep deep deep deep deep deep deep river The wide river The river of life
