eric clapton - river of tears (song lyrics)

Its three miles to the river
That would carry me away
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today
Its four miles to my lonely room
Where Im gonna hide my face
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace
Lord how long have I gotta keep on running
Seven hours seven days or seven years?
All I know is since youve been gone
Feel like Im drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of tears
Drowning in a river
Feel like Im drowning
Drowning in a river
In three more days Ill 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 times run out and I got to go
Got to run away again
Still I catch myself thinking
One day Ill find my way back here
Youll save me from drowning
Drowning in a river
-Drowning
Drowning in a river of tears
Drowning in a river
Feel like Im drowning
Drowning in the river
Lord how long must this go on?
Drowning
-In a river drowning
Drowning in a river of tears
