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
