I hear the rain already
I hear it in my sleep
I hear it everyday
I hear it like a strand that's woven
Into what the heroes say
I hear it on the streets
I hear it on the road
I hear it in the silent, waiting rocks
Where the waters once flowed
And the river is rising
The river is rising
The river is rising
And it's barely beginning to rain
I see it in the signs
I see it in the times
I see it in the open words
And scattered in between the lines
I see it in the book
I'm told it's written in the stars
It's the smoky light that shines from eyes
Starin' out behind the bars
They say the river is rising
The river is rising
The river is rising
And it's barely beginning to rain
And the river is rising
The river is rising
The river is rising
And it's barely beginning to rain
Some people runnin'
From the slow train
Some people runnin' from the cloud
(Barely)
Some people hidin'
From the old man down the road
Some people hidin' in the crowd
(Barely)
But the banks cannot protect you
No, you can't outrun the flood
Coz it's comin' from the depths of you
Yeah, it's runnin' in your blood
Coz the river is rising
The river is rising
The river is rising
And it's barely beginning to rain
I say, the river is rising
The river is rising
The river is rising
And it's barely beginning to rain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Barely, barely)
I said, it's already rising
(Barely, barely beginning to rain)
It's already rising
The river is rising
(Barely, barely beginning to rain)
The river is rising
(Barely, barely beginning to rain)
(Barely, barely beginning to rain)
Yeah
Yeah, it's rising
