For all the love she gave you
There on the ladder of regrets?
Mighty river, give her all she gets
What does she get for all the love she gave you
There on the ladder of regrets?
Daytime night time suffering is all she gets

Where all the prizes for the games she entered
With little chance of much success?
Daytime night time suffering is all she gets

Come on, river, all the flow
Let your love of you people show
Come on, river, flow through me
Let your love of you people be
You are the river, I am the stream
Flow mighty river through me

What does it pay to play the leading lady
When like the damsel in distress
Daytime night time suffering is all she gets

No less (no less), no more (no more)
No sea (no sea), no shore (no shore)
No sand (no sand), no pail (no pail)
No fairy tale anymore

Come on, river, flow through me
Don't be stopped by insanity
Come on, river, overflow
Let your love for your neighbors grow
You are the river, I am the stream
Flow mighty river, through me
Daytime night time suffering is all she gets?
Oh, oh, daytime night time suffering is all she gets
Oh, oh, daytime night time, night time suffering is all, is all she gets, she gets
What does she get for all the love she gave you
