Sorry River

How could you let us run dry?
Drain our heaven, make it fall from the sky
How could you let us run dry?
And when did the somersault turn?
Throwing us over, on another shoulder, watching our future unwind
Oh the sorry river
Turned a sorry trickle
Fly your most convenient flight of all
I fooled you just to trick myself, now this water's
Flowing somewhere else...
Somewhere else
So cross us off your list
And leave your guilt at the Chinese laundry, man you got a granted wish
And now as we go our own way
And fade this scene like a cinema story, no more turns today
No more turns today
No more...today
Oh the sorry river
Turned a sorry trickle
Fly your most convenient flight of all
I fooled you just to trick myself, noe this water's
Flowing somwhere else...
Somewhere else
