Rivers, Rains and Runaway Trains Lyrics

Made myself a list and checked it twice 

Cause I've never been the kind to roll the dice

Took an extra turn on the thoroughfare 

To avoid all risk and doubt and still get me there

Calculated odds and likelihood 

Through every preparation the way I should 

Just when I start to feel like I'm on a roll

How can it be in one glance I've lost control 

Rivers and rains and runaway trains

The rushing and racing of hurricanes

Forces of nature that nothing restrains

Rivers and rains and runaway trains 

Solid as a rock- set in my ways

Till I caught a glimpse of your green-eyed gaze

Running through the numbers and my head says no

The statistics they shatter and my heart says go

Rivers and rains and runaway trains

The rushing and racing of hurricanes

Forces of nature that nothing restrains

Rivers and rains and runaway trains 

My steady feet stumbled

The heavens they rumbled

The earth shook below the ground

I tried to speak but mumbled

My senses they crumbled

The second you came around

Rivers and rains and runaway trains

The rushing and racing of hurricanes

Forces of nature that nothing restrains

Rivers and rains and runaway trains 

Rivers and rains and runaway trains
