There's something in the way
she moves me, to distraction;
I travelled all this way to try and make amends
'Cause heavy in the air
are the words that she left hanging
I tried to walk away, but I only stand and stare.
[Chorus:]
The rain that comes
All of the love that was left behind is gone
When the riverman runs
Find me the girl who electrifies the storm
'cause in a little while, she'll be gone...
I waited in the rain
My feet too wet to stand in
I shouted out your name
behind the rainbow's end
But somewhere in the crowd,
she heard me jingle jangling
Like a memory that fades,
she slipped away again...
[Chorus]
'cause in a little while, she'll be gone.
(The riverman runs!)
