I picked you up at ten to four
Just like a thousand times before
On a thousand other days
We took a walk in Silver Springs
I didn't even say a thing
Everything just disappeared
    I was there the day the river went dry
    and I just watched it flow away
    I just stood and watched that river die
    Cuz when all is gone and nothing else remains
    You just hope for rain
You saw the dried-out river bed
You broke the silence and you said
Where did all that water go?
I didn't know, so I replied
It's just the nature of the tide
But you knew better
    I was there the day the river went dry
    and I just watched it flow away
    I just stood and watched ...
