The river has run wild tonight
The birds have stopped singing and I've lost my sight
And you
You're not around
I keep my ground just quiet
The river has run wild tonight
It hurts to see you burning- burning
Oh so bright
See through my looking glass
Sell the pass
It's still quiet
There is trouble in the heartland
You're drifting your own way
There is trouble
It's a wasteland
There's something you don't say
Toss me in the ocean and see if I float
I'm causing a commotion on a sinking boat
And you
You come undone
One by one
Let's start a riot
There is trouble in the heartland
You're drifting your own way
There is trouble - it's a wasteland
There's something you don't say
There's something you don't say
Toss me in the ocean and watch me drown
one man's smile is another man's frown
And you
You're not around
I keep my ground still quiet
There is trouble in the heartland
You're drifting your own way
There is trouble
It's a wasteland
There's something you don't say
The river has run wild tonight
