It's a dammed up river
All the seas are runnin' dry
I know it won't deliver
But I'll be damned if I don't try
If I gave you a warning
Still couldn't take what I want
It wouldn't fade in the morning
Or wash away what I've done
It's a dammed up river
All the seas are runnin' dry
I know it won't deliver
But I'll be damned if I don't try
You could sift through an ocean
And it might never be enough
Or it could drift through unnoticed
Like a diamond in the rough
It's a dammed up river
All the seas are runnin' dry
I know it won't deliver
But I'll be damned if I don't try
And if I could break free
And float out deep and wide
I'd let it take me
And be washed by the tide
But i t's a dammed up river
All the seas are runnin' dry
I know it won't deliver
But I'll be damned if I don't try
But I'm stranded up a river
And it's a dammed up river
I'm stranded up a river
And it's a dammed up river
It's a dammed up river
All the seas are runnin' dry
I know it won't deliver
But I'll be damned if I don't try
