[ti:River of Tears] [ar:Eric Clapton] [al:Pilgrim] [offset:500] [00:00.00]River of Tears [01:33.72][00:08.96]Eric Clapton [01:39.72][00:13.85]Pilgrim (1998) [01:47.76][00:19.78]River of Tears [01:56.21]It's three miles to the river [02:03.61]That would carry me away, [02:10.13]And two miles to the dusty street [02:14.99]That I saw you on today. [02:21.67]It's four miles to my lonely room [02:26.45]Where I will hide my face, [02:36.19]And about half a mile to the downtown bar [02:42.97]That I ran from in disgrace. [02:49.40]Lord, how long have I got to keep on running, [02:53.99]Seven hours, seven days or seven years? [03:01.04]All I know is, since you've been gone [03:07.67]I feel like I'm drowning in a river, [03:14.74]Drowning in a river of tears. [03:26.46]Drowning in a river. [03:33.97]Feel like I'm drowning, [03:39.02]Drowning in a river. [04:16.29]In three more days, I'll leave this town [04:21.09]And disappear without a trace. [04:27.28]A year from now, maybe settle down [04:34.01]Where no one knows my face. [04:43.96]I wish that I could hold you [04:48.03]One more time to ease the pain, [04:53.89]But my time's run out and I got to go, [05:01.56]Got to run away again. [05:10.08]Still I catch myself thinking, [05:15.06]One day I'll find my way back here. [05:21.65]You'll save me from drowning, [05:28.05]Drowning in a river, [05:33.43]Drowning in a river of tears. [05:46.12]Drowning in a river. [05:52.51]Feels like I'm drowning, [05:59.16]Drowning in the river. [06:04.92]Lord, how long must this go on? [06:52.79]Drowning in a river, [07:01.07]Drowning in a river of tears.
