I've been waiting on the day
When all my problems drift away
And all that I could hope to find
A little peace of my own mind

Here,
At the mercy of the tide
By these muddy banks I've cried
And wash my sins in her cool water
(Where a man can find his place)
At the mercy of the tide

In the distance, for an instant
I could see her standing

By the river, where I feel her
It's the place where I'd find shelter
And I need her, I believe her
Mekong River Delta

I'm still waiting on the day
But my life gets in the way
I wish I had some time for you
(I don't know if you want me to)
The things we say but never do

In the distance, for an instant
I could see her standing

By the river, where I feel her
It's the place where I'd find shelter
And I need her, I believe her
Mekong River Delta
Mekong River Delta

I could see her
I could see her
I could see her laughin'

By the river, where I feel her
It's the place where I'd find shelter
And I need her, I believe her
Mekong River Delta
Mekong River Delta
Mekong River Delta
Mekong River Delta
Mekong River Delta
