Rivers of Rain Lyrics

Rivers of rain down the window pane

And a wake up call to nowhere

In a motel room in the morning gloom

Time to make my way to somewhere

I splash my feet up the rain drenched street

Fall into the seat of my car

And the rivers of rain are singing your name

And I'm wondering' where you are

I remember a time that was yours and mine

On the Middle Fork of the Salmon

Twenty years old with a band of gold

It was the feast before the famine

Because I caught you cryin' down where the river winds

You said you're off to find what's calling you

And the river sang and I felt the pain

And away from me you flew

I followed the work as a bankers clerk

Then the market took a tumbling

The town went bust, no one you could trust

All around me lives were crumbling

There was a job for me with a collector's fee

And a fever for the gold

And the river went dry, and in the city I

Let my heart go hard and cold

Now I serve my time on the banker's dime

Traveling and foreclosing

It's my job it seems to kill someone's dreams

And I'm gifted in the disposing

But this stone cold heart just came apart

On a morning dark I hear that song

In the river of rain the old familiar pain

And my love for you goes on
