The River That Runs with Love Won’t Run Dry

Oh my father, he was born beneath the water
And my mother
She was born to no one's daughter
And I, I was born beneath the dying sun
Born from the mouth of a river
That would not run dry

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la lie
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la lie
Oh, the river that runs with love
It won't run dry
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la lie

Well, I awoke this morning
In the blackest night
And a million stars were aching
In the sullen sky
And I heard the great machines
As they bled and cried
And I saw the end of the world
I had no question why

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la lie
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la lie
Hold on to the one you love
And kiss her before she dies
Oh, the river that runs with love
It won't run dry
Oh, my father made the water when he cried
But the river that runs with love
It won't run dry and the sun will burn a
Hole in the purple sky
But the river that runs with love
It won't run dry
