Standard (EADGBE)
What does she get 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 nighttime suffering is all she gets
Where are the prizes for the games she entered
With little chance of much success
Daytime nighttime suffering is all she gets
Come on river, overflow
Let your love for your people show
Come on river, flow through me
Let your love for your 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 nighttime suffering is all she gets
No less, no more
No sea, no shore
No sand, 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 neighbours grow
You are the river, I am the stream
Flow mighty river through me
Instrumental verse
Daytime nighttime suffering is all she gets
Daytime nighttime suffering is all she gets
Daytime nighttime suffering is all she gets
What does she get for all the love she gave you
