The River's Gonna Run

The River's Gonna Run - Buddy Miller

I got a hole in my pocket

I got a tear in my heart

I got a door I can't unlock it

I live on shadows in the dark

I hear the sound of a heartbeat

I hear a secret in the rain

It's like the kiss of a lover

It's like a stranger knows your name

I'm gonna rock on the water

I'm gonna dance on the flood

I'm gonna lay down with the wind

And believe like a child

I feel the swell of the tempest

I feel the passion of a soul

Like there's a storm coming in

A storm of love going wild

And when the thunderheads start beating like a drum

And the thunder cracks the sky in two

The wind is gonna blow and the rain is gonna come

And the river's gonna run

I wanna walk on a wire

An unbroken line

I wanna live when I die

And shake my soul loose from time

I wanna ride with the angels

On that invisible street

And leave my footprints in the sky

And feel the stars beneath my feet

And when the thunderheads start beating like a drum

And the thunder cracks the sky in two

The wind is gonna blow and the rain is gonna come

And the river's gonna run

Gonna take the train that's gonna get me there

All the tracks behind me are burning in the air

The cure is gonna kill me but I don't care

Don't care don't care don't care don't care

It's like the kiss of a lover

It's like the kiss of a lover

It's like a stranger knows your name

It's like a stranger knows stranger knows your name
