Lyrics
River Road
There's an empty house on River Road,
Memories linger there in brick and stone,
A haunted place that no one dares to go,
Here's the story, of the house, on River Road
He took a wife and they made a home,
Dreamed a future in a love to grow,
He left for war and he never came home
She disappeared into the house on River Road
Chorus:
You can hear her voice still sing,
Singin', Till We Meet again,
Like a whisper in the wind,
You can see her in the night
When the moon is full and bright
A shadow starin' at the sky
Looking for her love that died
Thru the window you can see her soul,
A ghost dancing in the candle's glow
She'll keep waiting as years come and go
She'll wait forever til they're together, on River Road
Oh, oh
Chorus:
You can hear her voice still sing,
Singin', Till We Meet again,
Like a whisper in the wind,
You can see her in the night
When the moon is full and bright
A shadow starin' at the sky
Looking for her love that died
It's been 50 years since they've been gone
The story's old but their legend lives on
Chorus:
You can hear her voice still sing,
Singin', Till We Meet again,
Like a whisper in the wind,
You can see her in the night
When the moon is full and bright
A shadow starin' at the sky
You can hear her voice still sing,
Singin', Till We Meet again,
Like a whisper in the wind,
You can see her in the night
When the moon is full and bright
A shadow starin' at the sky
Looking for her love that died
