River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long, white train
Winding your way away somewhere
River, I love you, don't you care?

If you're on the run
Winding some place just tryin' to find the sun
Whether the sunshine, whether the rain
River, I love you just the same


But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles
Roll across my floor
Carryin' away the things I treasure
Hell, there ain't no way to measure
Why I love you more than I did the day before


River in the rain
Sometimes at night, you look like a long, white train
Winding your way away somewhere
River, I love you, don't you care?


But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles
Roll across the floor, hey

Carryin' away the things I treasure
Hell, there ain't no way to measure
Why I love you more than I did the day before

River in the rain
Sometimes at night, you look like a long, white train
Winding your way away from me
River, I've never seen the sea
