River, Run Me Dry lyrics

[Verse 1:]
A thousand faces on a grey, grey day
A million houses under dull, dark sky
So much noise and so little time
Oh river, run me dry

A natural world with these strange men's votes
Go back home and lock your door
So much noise and so little time
Oh river, run me dry

[Chorus:]
River, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry

[Verse 2:]
Sweet palm trees on an ocean breeze
Pico butter and deep blue seas
A thousand miles of clear blue sky
Taking time to let it pass me by

An empty space to my open door
A turning fan on a wooden floor
Drift away in the sweet sunshine
Welcome to this world of mine
Oh river, run me dry
[Chorus:] (2x)
Oh river, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry
