(Eric Clapton and Simon Climie)
|
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.
