Blues On The River

[Chorus]
                                   
White clear rum blues on the river & run
                                                    
loveless in the darkness flooding through the rain & run
                        
signalling with my red cigarette
                      
won t somebody please connect
                           
it s long gone dark & no moon yet
                                              
blood strong rum take your blues to the river & run


[Verse]
              
Listen to the long haul volunteers
                             
singing to a tune of shifting gears

those desperado racketeers
                         
they never fade too far to steer

and there s a team in the sewer of a jail
                              
digging a hole with a two inch nail

while a rat goes to sell his tale
                                  
they won t believe that the bid can fail


[Chorus]
                                   
White clear rum blues on the river & run
                                                    
loveless in the darkness flooding through the rain & run
                        
signalling with my red cigarette
                      
won t somebody please connect
                           
it s long gone dark & no moon yet
                                              
blood strong rum take your blues to the river & run


[Verse]
          
Everybody knows somebody on the run
                        
& we ve all considered a gun

and from floor number forty one
                                   
don t the drop look like it could be fun

no matter now deep the river is
                              
find somebody who you can swim with

there s always bound to be a bridge
                                     
and the world looks different from the ridge


[Chorus]
                                   
White clear rum blues on the river & run
                                                    
loveless in the darkness flooding through the rain & run
                        
signalling with my red cigarette
                      
won t somebody please connect
                           
it s long gone dark & no moon yet
                                              
blood strong rum take your blues to the river & run

[Music Verse]
EDE DAE DE DAE

[Chorus]
                                   
White clear rum blues on the river & run
                                                    
loveless in the darkness flooding through the rain & run
                        
signalling with my red cigarette
                      
won t somebody please connect
                           
it s long gone dark & no moon yet
                                              
blood strong rum take your blues to the river & run
