Oh the river rise And it's a mile high Is this worth tryin' Is this worth tryin' Cause i could fall Like a tear Well there's nothing else i can do When i'm not alone Nothings beside me What one eye sees The other's blind in Well i could fall As if i was young With a lifetime to think of you Fire one for losing And two for hiding Keep river moving Movin' right by me I could fall And there's nothin' else i can do Ah the river rise And it's a mile high Has this world turned Has this world tried Cause i could fall Like a tear Well there's nothin' else i can do Up on the river rise She's a mile high
