Dolly Parton - The River Unbroken Lyrics






Waiting for the train to come
I keep a'waiting for the train to come
Dreamin' 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

Waitin' for the train to come
I keep waitin' for the train to come
Keepin' my appointment with the one who lives
In the heart of everything that is

All night sleepin' 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 can't go on
I get so tired, all passion's gone
My heart, my head, my arms, my legs, I get so tired
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 hear, my eyes can 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

Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is, 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...

    Such an underrated song. While the album was not her strongest, this was definitely one of her best singles released in the 80’s.

  19. a.... s....

    Dolly should be on Mt. Rushmore. The girl just flat rocks.

  20. T.... R....

    Beautiful Song...... Every Single Song Dolly Writes And Produces Is Golden......

    T.... R....

    actually this wasn't written by Dolly , it was written by D. Batteau & D. Brown , i have the album this song is on , & that's what the cd booklet says

  21. C.... B....

    They should play more Dolly on Rage and the radio, my goodness this has to be the best singer ever. Here I am able to play Dolly songs on You Tube for 2 days and still I don't have to repeat 1 song. Not many artists today can claim this.

  22. k.... ....

    Does she have more videos from this era? The women often had such cool style in country & rock music during late 80s early 90s. She is just so hot in that denim cowgirl look.

  23. C.... B....

    Here I go again, another spin.

    C.... B....

    This is the most addictive song !!!

  24. L.... F....

    Wish she would make more music videos for all her songs, they deserve them.
