Build me a river within my thoughts Build me a boat I can put my songs in Build me a river within my thoughts Won't you build me a boat I can put my songs in Oh yeah and send them to him He was the singer for me, don't you know it Found love in the strength of his song When I'm weary and I know that he's gone I just drink, drink deep Drink the sweet wine of his song Oh drink! He was the singer for me, don't you know it Found love in the strength of his song When I'm weary and I know that he's gone I just drink, drink deep Drink the sweet wine of his song Oh yeah!
