What are we gonna do
When you stop crying?
What ever you're going through
It's not worth dying
Chasing away the blues
I know you're trying
And nobody wants to lose
I don't know why
'Cause I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away today
What are you gonna say
When they stop laughing?
You're giving it all away
When you've got nothing
How many times a day
You feel like walking?
Taking a holiday from
All the shy
But I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away today
'Cause I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away today
And you've got to grab
The bull by the horns, my friend
It's the only way to go
And when the story's told
We can go home
So what are we gonna do
When you stop crying?
What ever you're going through
It's not worth dying
Keeping away the blues
You know I'm trying
What have you got to lose
And testify
'Cause I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away, I'm sailing away
I'm sailing away today
