[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

[Verse 1]
If you're on the run
Winding someplace just trying to find the sun
Whether the sunshine, whether the rain
River I love you just the same

[Pre-Chorus]
But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles roll across my floor
Carrying away the things I treasure
No there ain't no way to measure why I love you more
Than I did the day before

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles roll across my floor
Hey hey, carrying away the things I treasure
Hell, there ain't no way to measure why I love you more
Than I did the day before

[Chorus]
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
