What are we gonna do
when you've stopped crying?
What ever you're going through
It's not worth dying

Chasing away the blues
I know you're trying.
And nobody wants to lose
I don't know why

'Cause I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away today

What are you gonna say
when they stop laughing?
You're giving it all away
When you've got nothing

How many times a day
You feel like walking?
Taking a holiday from
All the [bad word] 

But I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away today
'Cause I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away today

You've got to grab the bull
By the horns my friend
It's the only way to go
And when the story's told
we can go home so

What are we gonna do
When you've stopped crying?
Where ever you're going to
It's not worth dying

Keeping away the blues
You know I'm trying
What've we got to lose
And testify

'Cause I live by the river
Live by the river
And I'll die by the river
I'm sailing away
I'm sailing away
I'm sailing away today
