Oh the river rise And it's a mile high Is this worth tryin' Is this worth tryin' Cause I could fall Like a tear Well there's nothing else I can do When I'm not alone Nothings beside me What one eye sees The other's blind in Well I could fall As if I was young With a lifetime to think of you Fire one for losing And two for hiding Keep river moving Movin' right by me I could fall And there's nothin' else I can do Ah the river rise And it's a mile high Has this world turned Has this world tried Cause I could fall Like a tear well there's nothin' else I can do Up on the river rise
