River Is Rising Songtext
von Eric Burdon

The river is rising
Carrying me away to another world
The river is rising

The river is rising

The river is rising
Carrying me away to another world

And darkness was upon the face of the deep
And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the water
Oh lord, please don′t put a cross upon my door
And the river...
(The river is rising)
...Is rising
(The river is rising)
The river is...
(The river is rising)
Rising
(Carrying me away to another world)


(The river is rising)
...Is rising
(The river is rising)
...Is rising

(The river is rising)
(Carrying me away to another world)
The swamp cooler decided to die
He mumped his head
Opened his eyes
Is that my baby grand beginning to rise?
Carrying me away to another world
Every day around 4 o'clock
King Antoine enjoyed his nap
The TV would awaken him
But today, the TV was dead

The river...(The river is rising)
The river is rising
(The river is rising)
The river...(The river is rising)
(Carrying me away to another world)


Raise to the roof and to the night sky
The King thought Lord, is this the time I′m gonna die?
Is this the day I'm gonna die?
The river is rising
(The river is rising)
The river is rising
(The river is rising)
He was nailed to the piano
