lyrics

River -

There were planes in the clouds
we were on our own
they made the rain come down
and we sailed out on our homes
well, what do you do
when you have nothing to lose

and the train knows this song
it knows how it goes
a heavy heavy heart of alameda blues
well, what do you do
when you have so much to move
and we will know ourselves
we just pray for rain and start singing

Oh, river take me
oh, river take me
oh, river take me home

and they tried playing god
they played him for a fool
with gold on their minds and oil on their boots
well, what do you do
when your hand starts to bleed

and their mouths so parched
and their grips to grime
you hold your head up high, see the airplane in the sky
well, what do you do
when the thunder starts rolling in
the gods are playing for keeps
we just pray for rain and start singing

Oh, river take me
oh, river take me
oh, river take me home

Oh, river take me
oh, river take me
oh, river take me home

we will strike them down
we will strike them down
we will strike them down
with a lightning bolt
