(by Eric ClaptonSimon Clime)
It s three miles to the river
That would carry me away
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
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.
Lordhow long have I got to keep on running
Seven hoursseven days or seven years?
All I know issince you ve been gone
I feel like I m drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like I m drowning
Drowning in a river.
In three more daysI ll leave this town
And disappear without a trace.
A year from nowmaybe 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
Got to run away again.
Still I catch myself thinking
One day I ll find my way back here.
You ll save me from drowning
Drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feels like I m drowning
Drowning in the river.
Lordhow long must this go on?
Drowning in a river
Drowning in a river of tears.
