Roger Miller - River in the Rain

River in the rain

Sometimes at night you look like a long white train

Winding your way away somewhere

The river, I love you, don't you care

Oh, if you're on the run

Winding some place, just trying to find the sun

Whether the sunshine, whether the rain

River, I love you just the same

But sometimes in a time of trouble

When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles

Roll across my floor

Carrying away the things I treasure

Hell, there ain't no way to measure

Why I love you more

Than I did the day before

River in the rain

Sometimes at night you look like a long white train

Winding your way away from me

River, I've never seen the sea

But sometimes in a time of trouble

When you're out of hand and your muddy bubbles

Roll across my floor

Hey hey, carrying away the things I treasure

Hell, there ain't no way to measure

Why I love you more

Than I did the day before

River in the rain

Sometimes at night you look like a long white train

Winding your way away from me

River, I've never seen the sea
