What are we gonna do
When you stop crying?
What ever you're going through
It's not worth dyingChasing 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 todayWhat are you gonna say
When they stop laughing?
You're giving it all away
When you've got nothingHow many times a day
You feel like walking?
Taking a holiday from
All the shyBut 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 todayAnd 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 homeSo what are we gonna do
When you stop crying?
What ever you're going through
It's not worth dyingKeeping 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
