Down by the river
Touched by a cloud
There's something better
Yesterday's paper
Says it's all right
We're gonna dig for the rest of our lives

Some dream New Zealand
Some dream the past
Hope for good weather
Sleep in the forest
Where things stay the same
And any news is good news today

Down by the river
Touched by a cloud
You can always find something better
Touch me once darling
And I'll touch you twice
There's no way to get burned tonight

Some dream the wild life
Some love the grass
I'm getting better
Some wander wilderness 
And some kill the pain
I'm sitting here watching tv again

Down by the river
Touched by a cloud
You can always find something better
Touch me once darling
And I'll touch you twice
There's no way to get burned tonight
