River Of Tears
Eric Clapton - 《Clapton Chronicles: The Best of Eric Clapton》
It's three miles to the river
And two miles to the dusty street
It's four miles to my lonely room
Where I will hide my face
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace
Lord how long have I got to keep on running
Seven hours seven days or seven years?
All I know is since you've been gone
I feel like I'm drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of tears
In three more days I'll leave this town
And disappear without a trace
A year from now maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face
I wish that I could hold you
One more time to ease the pain
But my time's run out and I got to go
Still I catch myself thinking
One day I'll find my way back here
You'll save me from drowning
Drowning in a river of tears
Lord how long must this go on?
Drowning in a river of tears
