And the River Cries

By David Snyder

V1

You’ve got so many
sad-eyed friends
who don’t where your troubles start
or where they end

don’t nobody here really laugh anymore
It’s a different kind of laugh
Comes behind the closet door

And here your untrained actors
learn to laugh and cry
and here your shooting stars
their infant voices try

CH:

and here the water comes
and the river rises
here the water comes and the river rise
yeah here the water comes
and the river rises

and oh, oh, oh, the river cries

V2

well it rains down
on this city
like it rains down in my heart
and there’s a darkness in your love
that tears my soul apart

I wish that I could tell you
that love’s the only cure
but there’s only so much love
some people can endure

CH

and here the water comes
and the river rises
here the water comes and the river rise
yeah here the water comes
and the river rises

and oh, oh, oh, the river cries
and oh, oh, oh, the river cries

SOLO

CH:

And here the water comes
and the river rises
here the water comes and the river rise
yeah here the water comes
and the river rises
and oh, oh, oh, the river cries
and on, oh, oh, the river cries
