Livin’ and dreamin’ in a world full of fear
Playin’ with feelings that carried me here today
Lost in the memories of days gone by
Runnin’ on empty and the wells run dry today
It’s so far away
That i could fade away
( but ) i’ll fly
Cross this river of tears
And i’ll fly
Cross this river of tears
‘cause a lonely heart could die alone
In this river of tears
I could hear thunder, but i couldn’t feel the rain
I fell down under, this dangerous game
We play
It’s so far away
That i could fade away
( but ) i’ll fly
Cross this river of tears
And i’ll fly
Cross this river of tears
‘cause a lonely heart could die alone
In this river of tears
So i could fade away
( but ) i’ll fly
Cross this river of tears
And i’ll fly
Cross this river of tears
‘cause a lonely heart could die alone
‘cause a lonely heart could die alone
In this river of tears
In this river of tears
I’ll fly
I’ll fly
I’ll fly
I’ll fly
Cross this river of tears
I’ll fly
I’ll fly…

It’s three miles to the river
That would carry me away,
And two miles to the dusty street
That i saw you on today.
It’s four miles to my lonely room
Where i will hide my face,
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That i ran from in disgrace.
Lord, how long have i got to keep on running,
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All i know is, since you’ve been gone
I feel like i’m drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like i’m drowning,
Drowning in a river.
In three more days, i’ll leave this town
And disappear 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 time’s 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 i’m drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord, how long must this go on?
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
It’s three miles to the river
That would carry me away,
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
It’s four miles to my lonely room
Where I will hide my face,
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All I know is, since you’ve been gone
I feel like I’m drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like I’m drowning,
Drowning in a river.
In three more days, I’ll leave this town
And disappear 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 time’s 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 I’m drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord, how long must this go on?
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
