The river has run wild tonight
The birds have stopped singing and I've lost my sight

And you
You're not around
I keep my ground just quiet

The river has run wild tonight
It hurts to see you burning- burning
Oh so bright

See through my looking glass
Sell the pass
It's still quiet

There is trouble in the heartland
You're drifting your own way
There is trouble
It's a wasteland
There's something you don't say

Toss me in the ocean and see if I float
I'm causing a commotion on a sinking boat

And you
You come undone
One by one
Let's start a riot

There is trouble in the heartland
You're drifting your own way
There is trouble - it's a wasteland
There's something you don't say
There's something you don't say

Toss me in the ocean and watch me drown
one man's smile is another man's frown

And you
You're not around
I keep my ground still quiet

There is trouble in the heartland
You're drifting your own way
There is trouble
It's a wasteland
There's something you don't say

The river has run wild tonight
