Karaoké River of Tears (live at the Staples Center 2001) Eric Clapton

It's three miles to the river

That would carry me away

And two miles to the dusty street

Then I saw you on today

It's four miles to my lonely room

Went right behind my face

And about half a mile to the downtown bar

Then I ran from it in disgrace

Lord how long have

I gotta 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

Sometimes I feel like

I'm drowning

Like I'm drowning in a river

And three more days to leave this town

And disappear without a trace

A year from now maybe settle down

Where no one knows my face

Lord

Lord I wish that I could hold you

One more time to ease the pain

My time's run out

I gotta go

Gotta run away again

Still I catch myself thinking

One day

I'll find my way back here

And maybe you'll save me from drowning

Yeah, drowning in the river

Drowning drowning

In the river of tears

Lord, I feel like

I'm drowning

Can't you see can't you see I'm drowning

How lord, how lord how lord, how lord

Resist that

Drowning in a river

Drowning in a river

Drowning in a river

Drowning in a river

Drowning in a river

Drowning in a river

Drowning in a river

Drowning drowning

In a river of tears
