Soon I leave for a new day
Resign in my disgrace
Sitting ever sweetly by
I catch a glimpse of your eyes

Where we go to die
Will your kids ask why
When they see the sky
Why the river ran dry?

I have to fake it, so I get dressed
Knowing we all end up dead
Still I smile for you
Knowing I failed you too

Just by knowing you
The only one who’s true
Please whatever you do
Know I won’t forget you

One day you’re here, baby
And then you’re gone
This is the version of "River Runs Dry" that is used in my new song: "River Runs Dry."
