Dry River |
| I was born by a river, but it was paved with cement |
| Yeah I was born by a river, but it was paved with cement |
| Still I stand out in that old dry river, and wish that I was soaking wet |
| Someday it’s gonna rain, someday it’s gonna pour |
| Someday this old dry river, it well, won’t be dry anymore |
| I played in the orange groves, 'til they bulldozed the trees |
| I played in the orange groves, 'til they bulldozed down all the trees |
| Now I stand out in those dead stumps, and I smell the blossoms on the leaves |
| Someday it’s gonna rain, someday it’s gonna pour |
| Someday those old dead trees, won’t be dead anymore |
| I fell in love with a woman, but she did not love me |
| Well, I fell in love with you baby, but you did not love me |
| Now I’m as dry as that old river, and I’m as dead as those old trees |
| Someday it’s gonna rain, someday it’s gonna pour |
| Someday this old heart of mine’s gonna fall in love once more |
| Someday it’s gonna rain, someday it’s gonna pour |
| Someday this old dry river, it won’t be dry anymore |
