Lyrics River Runs Dry - The Residents

She wouldn't even see me
Wouldn't even try
I heard she was sleeping
By the riverside

I wanted a lovin'
But she just cried
Down by the river
Where the old dog died

Come back
Come back
Baby, come back
Oh yeah

Well everybody lives
And everybody dies
But sooner or later
The river runs dry

Yeah, everbody lives
And everybody dies
But sooner or later
The river runs dry, yeah

Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back

Why don't you come back?
Come back
Baby come back
Oh yeah
