The rain
held back again
Haven't felt a drop
since you went away
Outside of town
the hills are brown
I guess way out there
you'd call them golden
Lines outside
the welfare store
The clock is stopped
at the bank next door
They yelled like hell
when the boys
left home
Now just like you
they're all gone...
The river runs
low tonight
And eyes are closed on
the waterline
The river runs
low tonight
And you're always
drifting through
my mind
The river runs
low tonight
And nobody waits for
the tide to rise
But I'm gonna wait
till you make
the river run high...
Woh woh hoh...
Woh oh...
The old man's
getting on
Keeps the morning
paper in his overcoat
It keeps him warm
in the cold storm
And he told
me today
I look a little lonely
Up in the air they're
heading south
The sky is light to
the west of town
With a little cash
I could get around
You know I'd come
out there and find you
Woh oh oh
The river runs
low tonight
Eyes are closed
on the waterline
The river runs
low tonight
And you're always
drifting through
my mind
The river runs
low tonight
And nobody waits for
the tide to rise
But I'm gonna wait
till you make
the river run high...
Woh woh hoh
Woh oh
Oh woh...
Up in the air they're
heading south
The sky is light
to the west of town
With a little cash
I could get around
You know I'd
come out there
and find you
Woh oh oh
The river runs
low tonight
Eyes are closed
on the waterline
The river runs
low tonight
And you're always
drifting through
my mind
The river runs
low tonight
And nobody waits
for the tide to rise
But I'm gonna wait
till you make
the river run high
Woh oh oh
Woh woh hoh oh
Woo ooo away
