I'm gathering rainbows and picking up dreams

Got a heart full of heaven and a pocket full of schemes

Hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo

I'm busy as the river flowing down to the sea

Got a sweet sweet baby who's a fool about me

Whenever there's trouble she's a standin' at my side

And when the goin' gets so rough I just flow with the tide

Hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo

[ guitar ]

I'm pickin' up sunshine and handin' up smile

It's a long road to travel but I love every mile

Hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo

I'm busy as the river...
