[Dolly Parton - The River Unbroken lyrics]
Waiting for the train to come
I keep waiting for the train to come
Dreaming of the river and the rising sun
I keep thinkin 'bout the world to come
My life packed up in a suitcase
Old man staring from a doorway
My hope tarries in the distance
Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance
Oh oh oooh oh where is the river unbroken?
Oh oh oooh oh when will the whistle blow?
Waiting for the train to come
I keep waiting for the train to come
Keeping my appointment with the one who lives
In the heart of everything that is
All night sleeping in a station
My God, it's hard not to be impatient
I watch through the windows of forgiveness
I cry, but my word's my only witness
Oh oh oooh oh where is the river unbroken?
Oh oh oooh oh when will the whistle blow?
Oh oh oooh oh where is the river unbroken?
Oh oh oooh oh when will the whistle blow?
Sometimes I feel I can't go on
I get so tired, all passion's gone
My heart, my head, my arms, my legs
Without the strength to crawl away
Then something breaks inside my soul
My strength is gone
That spirit's finally taking hold
My ears can't hear, my eyes can't see
Those clouds of joy still cover me, cover me
Cover me
Oh oh oooh oh where is the river unbroken?
Oh oh oooh oh when will the whistle blow?
Oh oh oooh oh where is the river unbroken?
Oh oh oooh oh when will the whistle blow?
Waiting for the train to come
I keep waiting for the train to come
I keep waiting for the train to come
Dreaming of the river and the rising sun
I keep thinkin 'bout the world to come
My life packed up in a suitcase
Old man staring from a doorway
My hope tarries in the distance
Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance
Oh oh oooh oh where is the river unbroken?
Oh oh oooh oh when will the whistle blow?
Waiting for the train to come
I keep waiting for the train to come
Keeping my appointment with the one who lives
In the heart of everything that is
All night sleeping in a station
My God, it's hard not to be impatient
I watch through the windows of forgiveness
I cry, but my word's my only witness
Oh oh oooh oh where is the river unbroken?
Oh oh oooh oh when will the whistle blow?
Oh oh oooh oh where is the river unbroken?
Oh oh oooh oh when will the whistle blow?
Sometimes I feel I can't go on
I get so tired, all passion's gone
My heart, my head, my arms, my legs
Without the strength to crawl away
Then something breaks inside my soul
My strength is gone
That spirit's finally taking hold
My ears can't hear, my eyes can't see
Those clouds of joy still cover me, cover me
Cover me
Oh oh oooh oh where is the river unbroken?
Oh oh oooh oh when will the whistle blow?
Oh oh oooh oh where is the river unbroken?
Oh oh oooh oh when will the whistle blow?
Waiting for the train to come
I keep waiting for the train to come
