River In The Rain, lyric by Roger Miller

from the songs album Roger Miller (mca 1986)

River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away somewhere
River i love you, don't you care

If you're on the run winding someplace
Just trying to find the sun
Whether the sunshine, whether the rain
River i love you just the same

But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand
And your muddy bubbles roll across my floor
Carrying away the things i treasure
Hell, that ain't no way to measure
Why i love you more than i did the day before

River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away somewhere
River i love you, don't you care

But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand
And your muddy bubbles roll across my floor
Carrying away the things i treasure
Hell, that ain't no way to measure
Why i love you more, than l did the day before

River in the rain,
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away from me
River i've never seen the sea
