Eric Clapton - River Of Tears lyrics

(by eric clapton, simon clime) It's three miles to the river That would carry me away, And two miles to the dusty street That i saw you on today. It's four miles to my lonely room Where i will hide my face, And about half a mile to the downtown bar That i ran from in disgrace. Lord, how long have i got to keep on running, Seven hours, seven days or seven years? All i know is, since you've been gone I feel like i'm drowning in a river, Drowning in a river of tears. Drowning in a river. Feel like i'm drowning, Drowning in a river. In three more days, i'll leave this town And disappear without a trace. A year from now, maybe settle down Where no one knows my face. I wish that i could hold you One more time to ease the pain, But my time's run out and i got to go, Got to run away again. Still i catch myself thinking, One day i'll find my way back here. You'll save me from drowning, Drowning in a river, Drowning in a river of tears. Drowning in a river. Feels like i'm drowning, Drowning in the river. Lord, how long must this go on? Drowning in a river, Drowning in a river of tears.
