walk with me softly to the promise land
well i love you riley but you gotta understand
it's so damn painful to love a dishonest man
I ride all morning and I ride all day
just to catch you riley in other woman's place
and I climb the porch steps knock three times and back away
when the one who answers stares deep into my face
she stands in the doorway and she calls your name to come
now wait like the reaper in my cloak of black
she whispers beggin please don't make him go back
what could make love stay
you can't look at me but you can turn away
I cried a river and soaked it to the bone
and you and I all go all together we didn't dry
walk with me softly to the promise land More from Hurray for the Riff Raff
