River of Tears |
|
It's three miles to the river |
|
That would carry me away, |
|
And two miles to the dusty street |
|
That I saw you on today. |
|
It's four miles to my lonely room |
|
Where I will hide my face, |
|
And about half a mile to the downtown bar |
|
That I ran from in disgrace. |
|
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running, |
|
Seven hours, seven days or seven years? |
|
All I know is, since you've been gone |
|
I feel like I'm drowning in a river, |
|
Drowning in a river of tears. |
|
Drowning in a river. |
|
Feel like I'm drowning, |
|
Drowning in a river. |
|
In three more days, I'll leave this town |
|
And disappear without a trace. |
|
A year from now, maybe settle down |
|
Where no one knows my face. |
|
I wish that I could hold you |
|
One more time to ease the pain, |
|
But my time's run out and I got to go, |
|
Got to run away again. |
|
Still I catch myself thinking, |
|
One day I'll find my way back here. |
|
You'll save me from drowning, |
|
Drowning in a river, |
|
Drowning in a river of tears. |
|
Drowning in a river. |
|
Feels like I'm drowning, |
|
Drowning in the river. |
|
Lord, how long must this go on? |
|
Drowning in a river, |
|
Drowning in a river of tears. |
