Dry River Songtext
von Dave Alvin

I was born by a river
But it was paved with cement
I was born by a river
But it was paved with cement
But you know I′d stand in that dry river and
Dream that I was soaking wet

Someday it's gonna rain
Someday it′s gonna pour
Someday that old dry river
You know that it won't be dry anymore

Well I played in the orange groves
Till they bulldozed every tree
Well I played in the orange groves
Till they bulldozed every tree
Now I stand among the dead stumps
And smell the blossoms in the breeze


Someday it's gonna rain
Someday it′s gonna pour
Someday all those dead trees
You know they won′t be dead anymore

I fell in love with a woman
But she did not fall for me
I fell in love with you baby
Baby, baby, you did not fall for me
Now I'm as dry as that old river and
I′m just as dead as those old trees

Someday it's gonna rain
Someday it′s gonna pour
Someday this old heart of mine
Is gonna fall in love once more

Someday it's gonna rain
Someday it′s gonna pour
Someday that old dry river
You know that it won't be dry anymore

You know it won't be dry anymore
Nah it won′t be dry anymore
Nah it won′t be dry anymore
