Sunny morning, sunny afternoon
When it's always June, there's no time to cry
Days keep passing, but they're all the same
Seasons never change
And the years are long
Oh, the years are long
Shady river carry me away
Shady river carry me away
Take me off and bring me back another day
City streetlights, how I miss the dark
(?) off the mark when it left me here
Old man moonlight tryin' to keep me blue
And the stars try to
They won't let me go
Won't you let me go?
Shady river carry me away
Shady river carry me away
Take me off and bring me back another day
When I'm tired, and start to think I'm through
Tryin' to be true, but it's awfully hard
Oh, so hard to do
Shady river carry me away
Shady river carry me away
Take me off and bring me back another day
Shady river carry me away
Shady river carry me away
Take me off and bring me back another day
