The river has gone wild

The river has run wild tonight

The birds have stopped singing and I've lost my sight

And you

You're not around

I keep my ground

Just quiet

The river has run wild tonight

It hurts to see you burning, burning oh so bright

See through

My looking glass

I sell the past

It's still oh so quiet

There's trouble in the heartland

You're drifting your own way

There is trouble

It's a wasteland

There's something you don't say

Toss me in the ocean and see if I float

I'm causing a commotion on a sinking boat

And you

You come undone

One by one

Let's start a riot

There's trouble in the heartland

You're drifting your own way

There is trouble

It's a wasteland

There's something you don't say

There's something you don't say

There's something you don't say

There's something you don't say

There's something you don't say

Toss me in the ocean and watch me drown

Oh, one man's smile is another man's frown

And you

You're not around

I keep my ground

Just quiet

There's trouble in the heartland

You're drifting your own way

There is trouble

It's a wasteland

There's something you don't say

The river has run wild tonight
