River, Run Me Dry

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

River, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry

Those big 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

Oh river, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry

Oh river, run me dry...
