Lyrics for The River Rise

Oh, the river rise And it's a mile high Is this worth tryin' Is this worth tryin' 'Cause I could fall Like a tear Well, there's nothing else I can do When I'm not alone Nothing's beside me What one eye sees The other's blind in Well, I could fall As if I was young With a lifetime to think of you Fire one for losing And two for hiding Keep river moving Movin' right by me I could fall And there's nothin' else I can do Ah, the river rise And it's a mile high Has this world turned Has this world tried 'Cause I could fall Like a tear Well, there's nothin' else I can do Up on the river rise She's a mile high
