River Went Dry

I picked you up at ten to four

Just like a thousand times before

On a thousand other days

We took a walk in silver springs

I didn't even say a thing

Everything just disappeared

I was there the day the river went dry

And I just watched it flow away

I just stood and watched that river die

Cuz when all is gone and nothing else remains

You just hope for rain

You saw the dried-out river bed

You broke the silence and you said

Where did all that water go?

I didn't know, so I replied

It's just the nature of the tide

But you knew better

I was there the day the river went dry

And I just watched it flow away

I just stood and watched that river die

Cuz when all is gone and nothing else remains

You just hope for rain

I took you home, you said good night

I watched you fade into the light

Then you vanished through the door

My skin is dry as desert air

There's water, water everywhere

But I'm not thirsty

I was there the day the river went dry

And I just watched you flow away

I just stood and watched that river die

Cuz when all is gone and nothing else remains

You just hope for rain

And just hope for rain

And just hope for rain

And just hope for rain
