The rain held back again
I haven't felt a drop since you went away
Outside of town, the hills are brown
I guess way out there you'd call 'em golden
Lines outside the welfare store
The clock is stopped at the bank next door
They yelled like hell when the boys left home
Now just like you they're all gone
The river runs low tonight
An' eyes are closed on the waterline
The river runs low tonight
An' you're always driftin' through my mind
The river runs low tonight
An' nobody waits for the tide to rise
But I'm gonna wait till you make
River run high
The old man's gettin' on
Keeps the mornin' paper in his overcoat
It keeps him warm in the cold storm
An' he told me today, I look a little lonely
An' up in the air they're headin' south
The sky is light to the west of town
With a little cash I could get around
You know I'd come out there an' find you
The river runs low tonight
An' eyes are closed on the waterline
The river runs low tonight
An' you're always driftin' through my mind
The river runs low tonight
An' nobody waits for the tide to rise
But I'm gonna wait till you make
River run high
Up in the air they're headin' south
The sky is light to the west of town
With a little cash I could get around
You know I'd come out there an' find you
The river runs low tonight
An' eyes are closed on the waterline
The river runs low tonight
An' you're always driftin' through my mind
The river runs low tonight
An' nobody waits for the tides to rise
But I'm gonna wait till you make
River run high
