[01:47.26][00:19.28]River of Tears
[01:55.71]It's three miles to the river
[02:03.11]That would carry me away,
[02:09.63]And two miles to the dusty street
[02:14.49]That I saw you on today.
[02:21.17]It's four miles to my lonely room
[02:25.95]Where I will hide my face,
[02:35.69]And about half a mile to the downtown bar
[02:42.47]That I ran from in disgrace.
[02:48.90]Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
[02:53.49]Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
[03:00.54]All I know is, since you've been gone
[03:07.17]I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
[03:14.24]Drowning in a river of tears.
[03:25.96]Drowning in a river.
[03:33.47]Feel like I'm drowning,
[03:38.52]Drowning in a river.
[04:15.79]In three more days, I'll leave this town
[04:20.59]And disappear without a trace.
[04:26.78]A year from now, maybe settle down
[04:33.51]Where no one knows my face.
[04:43.46]I wish that I could hold you
[04:47.53]One more time to ease the pain,
[04:53.39]But my time's run out and I got to go,
[05:01.06]Got to run away again.
[05:09.58]Still I catch myself thinking,
[05:14.56]One day I'll find my way back here.
[05:21.15]You'll save me from drowning,
[05:27.55]Drowning in a river,
[05:32.93]Drowning in a river of tears.
[05:45.62]Drowning in a river.
[05:52.01]Feels like I'm drowning,
[05:58.66]Drowning in the river.
[06:04.42]Lord, how long must this go on?
[06:52.29]Drowning in a river,
[07:00.57]Drowning in a river of tears.
