　　Eric Clapton

　　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.
