Michael Martin Murphey--Lost River lyrics
Lost River
(Michael Martin Murphey)
Timberwolf Music, Inc.

There's a lost river that flows
In the valley when no one goes
Where the wild waters rush
Almost deep in the hush
Oh, I'm far from it now
Lord I'll get back somehow
Where the lost river winds
In the shadow of the pines
Chorus:
Oh, Lost River
Now I'm comin' back
To the potbellied stove
Where the firewood's all stacked
Ah, Quebec girl, go with me
You're my belle, my fleur-de-lis
Where the Lost River winds
In the shadow of the pines
Well, everybody knows
Where that lost river flows
It's some place he's lost
Behind the bridges that he crossed
He'd like to return
But the bridges are all burned
And he's much too far down
To return to higher ground
Oh, Lost River
Far over the ridge
Now is it too late for me
To build me a new bridge
To the bright golden times
When her love was still mine
And the world was still white
Like the heart of a child
Note of Interest:
Many questions have been asked about
this line in the song --
Ah, Quebec girl, go with me
You're my belle, my fleur-de-lis
~ Perhaps this will help explain things
-- Michael's wife, Mary, was from Canadaa ~
