When you cross that river  The trees they will bow down  The sky will open up to you  And the lark will sing your song  When you cross that river  The path will follow you  And the winds they will caress your lips  And the fires they'll burn strong  Until then... yeah yeah  The pastures seem greener on the other side  Alexander don't bide your time uneasily  When you cross that river  The rains will be your wine  The brambles your mandolins  The earth to dance upon  When you cross that river  The moon will give you rest  The night will be your blanket  And the sun your morning guest  When you cross that river  Boudicca you will wed  Fuareg you will feast upon  Mirth your wedding bed  When you cross that river  Your fields will plenty reap  Your children like every spring  Will autumn keep
