Lyrics

River of Tears

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.

Reka suza

Na tri sam milje od reke
koja bi me odvela odavde
I dve milje od prašnjave ulice
u kojoj sam danas video tebe.

To je četiri milje od moje prazne sobe
U kojoj sakriću se.
i oko pola milje od bara u centru
iz kojeg sam pobegao od sramote.

Gospode, koliko još imam da trčim,
Sedam sati, sedam dana ili sedam godina?
Sve što znam je da otkako si otišla
imam osećaj kao da se davim u reci,
Davim se u reci suza.
Davim se u reci
Imam osećaj kao da se davim,
davim se u reci.

Za tri ću dana iz ovog grada otići
i bez traga nestati
Za godinu dana, možda ću se skrasiti
negde gde me niko ne zna.

Voleo bih da mogu da te zagrlim
još samo jednom, da ublažim bol,
Ali moje je vreme isteklo i moram da idem,
Opet moram da pobegnem.

Pa ipak ponekad mislim,
jednog ću se dana ovamo vratiti.
Ti ćeš me spasiti od davljenja,
davljenja u reci,
davljenja u reci suza.
Davljenja u reci.
Imam osećaj kao da se davim,
davim se u reci.
Gospode, koliko još dugo mora biti ovako?

Davim se u reci,
Davim se u reci suza.
