David Olney – Women Across The River lyrics
Oh the, women 'cross the river Carry
water from the well at break of day They
talk to one another God
only knows what they might say You
might get an education After
years of dedication You
might finally get a glimpse Of
what is right and what is wrong But
the women 'cross the river They
knew that all along Oh
the, women 'cross the river Work
with tools that are ancient and handmade They
plow their fields in perfect rows and then They
rest beneath the shade Now
we have learned to build Out
of concrete out of steel And
our buildings last a thousand years But
then even they are bound to fall But
the women 'cross the river Never
learned to build a wall Oh
the, women 'cross the river Are
as gentle as the dew upon the ground How
I love to hear them laughing in the rain When
it makes that perfect sound Now
a soldier with a gun and a battle to be won Might
kill you with a bullet And
you'd never even know the reasqon why But
the women 'cross the river They
can kill you with their eyes The
women 'cross the river They
can kill you with their eyes
water from the well at break of day They
talk to one another God
only knows what they might say You
might get an education After
years of dedication You
might finally get a glimpse Of
what is right and what is wrong But
the women 'cross the river They
knew that all along Oh
the, women 'cross the river Work
with tools that are ancient and handmade They
plow their fields in perfect rows and then They
rest beneath the shade Now
we have learned to build Out
of concrete out of steel And
our buildings last a thousand years But
then even they are bound to fall But
the women 'cross the river Never
learned to build a wall Oh
the, women 'cross the river Are
as gentle as the dew upon the ground How
I love to hear them laughing in the rain When
it makes that perfect sound Now
a soldier with a gun and a battle to be won Might
kill you with a bullet And
you'd never even know the reasqon why But
the women 'cross the river They
can kill you with their eyes The
women 'cross the river They
can kill you with their eyes
