What does she get for all the love she gave you
There on the ladder of regrets?
(Ahh) Mighty river, give her all she gets

What does she get for all the love she gave you
There on the ladder of regrets?
Daytime nighttime suffering is all she gets

Where all the prizes for the games she entered
With little chance of much success?
Daytime nightime suffering is all she gets

Come on, river, overflow
Let your love of you people show
Come on, river, flow through me
Let your love of your people be
You are the river, I am the stream
Flow mighty river through me

What does it pay to play the leading lady
When the like the damsel in distress
Daytime nightime suffering is all she gets?

No less (no less), no more (no more)
No sea (no sea), no shore (no shore)
No sand (no sand), no pail (no pail)
No fairy tale anymore

Come on, river, flow through me
Don't be stopped by insanity
Come on, river, overflow
Let your love for your neighbours grow

You are the river, I am the stream
Flow, mighty river, through me

Daytime nightime suffering is all she gets, woah
Daytime nightime suffering is all she gets, woah woah
Daytime nightime suffering is all she gets (she gets)
What does she get for all the love she gave you?
