time to cross that river

Singer:magnum

when the black queen begins to play

strong and lonely

don't look away

'cause there's nowhere she can't go

she won't tell you and you won't know

and now it's time to cross that river

and show your feelings just before you depart

you know it's real

you must consider

no good remaining

so hold back the tears

don't ever give up the fight

now the white king shakes in fear

by his castle they draw near

it's a story we all know

and it's somewhere we can't go

and now it's time to cross that river

and show your feelings just before you depart

you know it's real

you must consider

no good remaining

so hold back the tears

don't ever give up the fight

i really thought we'd come together

but once again there's something tears us apart

you know that it could get much better

heroes we've seen come and go through the years

nothing is just black and white

and now it's time to cross that river

and show your feelings just before you depart

you know it's real

you must consider

no good remaining

so hold back the tears

don't ever give up the fight

come on

i really thought we'd come together

but once again there's something tears us apart

you know that it could get much better

heroes we've seen come and go through the years

nothing is just black and white
