Wind and the Willows - Coeur D'alene

You're just a sailor, hopeful yet
With a drawstring bag of cigarettes
So give and take that one for me, I pray
As we sail from the sea
​
River's gold, we keep one better
A cigarette in stormy weather
I swear I'll love you just the same, I pray
As we sail to Coeur D'Alene
​
So tell me, will you forget?
I can't hold on darlin'
Will you forget?
I swear I'll keep on calling
Will you forget?
I pray I'll hear you say that
River rages on
​
And in the rain, we'll sail to Coeur D'Alene
We'll drink the waters until you forget my name
That river rages just the same, I've been calling out your name
Take this ship down, and leave a little loose
With that drawstring bag of cigarettes
You keep holding on to
​
Whatever runs in stormy rivers, chases all that I could give her
Sleep alone and sleep alright, my love
river rages on tonight
​
So if we grow in darker water, will you stay a little longer?
Lips run dry, your eyes are gone, my love
Same old river rages on
So tell me, will you forget?
I can't hold on darlin'
Will you forget?
I swear I'll keep on calling
Will you forget?
I pray I'll hear you say that
River rages on
​
And in the rain, we'll sail to Coeur D'Alene
We'll drink the waters until you forget my name
That river rages just the same, I've been calling out your name
Take this ship down, and leave a little loose
With that drawstring bag of cigarettes
You're holding on to
​
Smoke it rises from your head, take another you forget
Empty bags you're counting on, my love
Same old river rages on
​
I'm just a sailor out at sea
That river's come to carry me
Will you forget me when I'm gone, my love?
Same old river rages on
​
Will you forget me when I'm gone, my love?
Same old river carries on
