Eric Clapton - River Of Tears Lyrics

Submitted by: AUTO-ADD
Current Rating: None
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 will hide my face,
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.


Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All I know is, since you've been gone
I 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 in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feels like I'm drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord, how long must this go on?


Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
