All the while, she strung her beads
One by one, long rosary
Oh, the river had known
And the man on his ship
Soar the birds, swam the fish
Still, the river had flowed
Day will come
Night will pass
Day will come
Night will pass
She walked into a cabin soft
Rung her head, tied a knot
A portrait sought to be free
But the shore kept its tongue
Knowing all that's been sung
Still, the river had warned
Day will come
Night will pass
Day will come
Night will pass
Day will come
Night will pass
