Eric Clapton-babyface River Of Tears Lyrics

River Of Tears Lyrics

Its 3 miles to the river,

That would carry me away,

And 2 miles to the dusty street,

That I saw you on Today,

Its 4 miles to my lonely room,

Where I will hide my face,

And about a half a mile to the downtown bar,

That I ran from in disgrace,

Lord how long do I have to keep on running,

Seven hours, Seven days or Seven years,

All I know is since youve been gone,

feels like Im drowning in a river,

Drowning in a river of tears,

Drowning in a river,

feels like im drowning,

Drowning in a river,

In 3 more days Ill leave this town,

and dissapear 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 times 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 Im drowning,

Drowning in a river

Oh how long must this go on,

Drowning in a river,

Drowning in a river of tears
