Raised the flag and opened sail
Lift the anchor that kept open wounds
Tall cliffs casting shadows on him
A fine woman standing at the shore
The Green River embraces the lone son
And sets a path for my old man
Bright blue eyes to cast a light
And find a way to dawn
Take me where the river flows
Take me where the river flows
Early sun rays shining on me
Dry the tears that I've never she'd
Show me how the strength of soul
Can overcome the frail being
Green River with the cold stream
Oh Lord now I can see
Green River with the cold stream
Oh Lord now I can see
Take me where the river flows
Take me where the river flows
