Lyrics

River, Run Me Dry

[Verse 1:]

A thousand faces on a grey, grey day

A million houses under dull, dark sky

So much noise and so little time

Oh river, run me dry

A natural world with these strange men's votes

Go back home and lock your door

So much noise and so little time

Oh river, run me dry

[Chorus:]

River, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry

[Verse 2:]

Sweet palm trees on an ocean breeze

Pico butter and deep blue seas

A thousand miles of clear blue sky

Taking time to let it pass me by

An empty space to my open door

A turning fan on a wooden floor

Drift away in the sweet sunshine

Welcome to this world of mine

Oh river, run me dry

[Chorus:] (2x)

Oh river, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry
