River in the Rain
[Huck]
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 tryin' to find the sun
Whether the sunshine, whether the rain
River, I love you just the same
[Jim]
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
[Huck and Jim]
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?
[Jim]
But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles
Roll across the floor, hey
[Huck and Jim]
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
