Lyrics Rivers Run Dry - Ian Moss

Dry, dry river

There's a cold June wind comin' down again
Caught unawares weren't you, my friend
And just how long did you think you could keep 'em burning?
Burning out the candle at both ends

Now, my rivers run dry, aren't you my friend
As the red dirt cloud comes screaming in
There'll be no more rendezvous
At the watering hole we knew so well
And all the stories that we tell
We were always raising hell
Now, we're a long, long way from then
My friend

Dry, dry river
So many ways that a man can drown
We watch our story slip around that last bend
Dry, dry river

And the music we made was heaven sent
With the song we sing together, now and then
Is the melody I miss
On the long haul as we kiss the dream goodbye
Never ask the reason why
With a lonely lullaby
Like a feather, we are broken from the wings of time

Oh, dry, dry river
So many ways that a man can drown
We watch our story slip around that last bend
Dry, dry river never ends

Dry, dry river
So many ways that a man can drown
We watch our story slip around that last bend
Dry, dry river never ends

My friend
Ooh, my friend
My friend
