The River Runs Low Lyrics

The River Runs Low lyrics

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 'em 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

 

 CHORUS

 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 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

 

 The old man's gettin' 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

 

 CHORUS

 

 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

 

 CHORUS
