Lyrics
Written by Lorraine Jordan ©
Send my soul to the river
Send my soul to me
If you should see her
Walking these lonely streets
Or you should hear her
Calling out to me
Tell her that I don't know when
But one day I looked around
Searched among the empty crowd
But she was nowhere to be found
Tell her that I don't know why
I let her hand slip out of mine
Don't know when and don't know why
I let her fade right out of my life
Send my soul to the river
Send my soul to me
If you should see her
Walking these lonely streets
Or you should hear her
Calling out to me
I can't tell you when
I stopped noticing
I can't tell you why
I stopped dreaming
I can't tell you when
I stopped listening
I can't tell you why
I stopped believing
Send my soul to the river
Send my soul to me
If you should see her
Walking these lonely streets
Or you should hear her
Calling out to me
Tell her that I’m over here
I'm underneath the willow tree
And I have wept a trail of grief
Leading her right back to me
Tell her that I need her now
That I’m ready to be found
Oh I’m willing to believe
But I’m needing her to wade in
Wade in with me
Send my soul to the river
Send my soul to me
If you should see her
Walking these lonely streets
Or you should hear her
Calling out to me
Send my soul
Send my soul
Send my soul
