Eric Clapton - River Of Tears

Eric Clapton - River Of Tears Lyrics

Send River Of Tears Ringtone to your Cell

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'm gonna hide my face
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace

Lord, how long have I gotta keep on running
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All I know is, since you've been gone
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)
Drowning in a river of tears

Drowning in a river
Feel like I'm drowning
Drowning in the river

Lord, how long must this go on?

Drowning
(In a river, drowning)
Drowning in a river of tears
