Lyrics:

(By Eric Clapton, Simon Clime)

it's Three Miles To The River
that Would Carry Me Away,
and Two Miles To The Dusty Street
that I Saw You On Today.

it's Four Miles To My Lonely Room
where I Will Hide My Face,
and About Half A Mile To The Downtown Bar
that I Ran From In Disgrace.

lord, How Long Have I Got To Keep On Running,
seven Hours, Seven Days Or Seven Years
all I Know Is, Since You've Been Gone
i Feel Like I'm Drowning In A River,
drowning In A River Of Tears.
drowning In A River.
feel Like I'm Drowning,
drowning In A River.

in Three More Days, I'll Leave This Town
and Disappear Without A Trace.
a Year From Now, Maybe Settle Down
where No One Knows My Face.

i Wish That I Could Hold You
one More Time To Ease The Pain,
but My Time's Run Out And I Got To Go,
got To Run Away Again.

still I Catch Myself Thinking,
one Day I'll Find My Way Back Here.
you'll Save Me From Drowning,
drowning In A River,
drowning In A River Of Tears.
drowning In A River.
feels Like I'm Drowning,
drowning In The River.
lord, How Long Must This Go On

drowning In A River,
drowning In A River Of Tears.
