If I could fly

The river is deep, Too swift and wide, No bridge or boat, I can't get o'er. Somewhere waits love on the other side, If I could fly, across I'd soar. The mountain is steep, Too high and rough, Somewhere beyond is waiting love. No path around, beneath, or through, If I could fly, I'd sail above. The road's been long, My feet are sore, And weary to my soul am I. I dare not close my eyes to rest Lest while I sleep love passes by. Now time's run out, I can't go on, Searched everywhere that love could be. But soon I'll fly to a place unknown Where love has flown and waits for me.
