CHORUS: River in the rain Sometimes at night you look like a long white train Winding your way away somewhere River I love you don't you care If you're on the run winding some place Just trying to find the sun Whether the sunshine, whether the rain River I love you just the same But sometimes in a time of trouble When you're out of hand And your muddy bubbles roll across my floor Carryin' away the things I treasure Hell, there ain't no way to measure Why I love you more than I did the day before River in the rain Sometimes at night you look like a long white train Winding your way away somewhere River I love you, don't you care But sometimes in a time of trouble When you're out of hand And your muddy bubbles roll across my floor Carryin' away the things I treasure Hell, there ain't no way to measure Why I love you more than I did the day before River in the rain Sometimes at night you look like a long white train Winding your way away from me River, I've never seen the sea
