Lyrics:

What does she get for all the love she gave you
There on the ladder of regret?
Mighty river, give her all she gets

What does she get for all the love she gave you
There on the ladder of regret?
Daytime nighttime suffering is all she gets
Where are the prizes for the games she entered
With little chance of much success?
Daytime nighttime suffering is all she gets

Come on, river, overflow
Let your love for your people show
Come on, river, flow through me
Let your love for your people be
You are the river, I am the stream
Flow mighty river through me

What does it pay to play the leading lady
When like the damsel in distress
Daytime nighttime suffering is all she gets?

No less (no less), no more (no more)
No sea (no sea), no shore (no shore)
No sand (no sand), no pail (no pail)
No fairy tale anymore

Come on, river, flow through me
Don't be stopped by insanity
Come on, river, overflow
Let your love for your neighbours grow
You are the river, I am the stream
Flow mighty river through me

Daytime, nighttime suffering is all she gets
Daytime, nighttime suffering is all she gets, woah oh
Daytime, nighttime, nighttime suffering is all she gets
What does she get for all the love she gave you?
