Standard (EADGBE)

This weary Earth we walk upon

She will endure when we are gone

 While kingdoms come and kingdoms go

 Rivers run and rivers flow

You know I don't believe it's true

That in this world there's nothing new

 For darling you have just begun

 Rivers flow and rivers run

Chorus

And if those rivers should ever run dry

Somewhere the rain will still fa-ll,

 Will still fa-ll from the sky

When I'm beguiled by the fear

That darker days are drawing near

 My darling, you seduce the sun

 Rivers flow and rivers run

Chorus

And if those rivers should ever run dry

Somewhere the rain will still fall,

Will still fall from the sky

This wounded Earth we walk upon

She will endure when we are gone

 But still I pray that you may know

 How rivers run and rivers flow

Chorus

And if those rivers should ever run dry

Somewhere the rain will still fall,

Will still fall from the sky

So I cross my heart and hope to live

Just long enough that I can give

It all to you, my darling one

Rivers flow and rivers run

my darling one

Rivers flow and rivers run
