Take my tears to the river, let them swell with the gold and silver
And I'll drown no more, I'll drown no more

If my heart wasn't hard, I would feel and I would starve
So take my tears and spread them thin
Fill the canyons to their brims

Send my tears to the river, far away from my shivers
And I'm cold no more, I'm cold no more

And if the canyons they fill up and my tears and still spread wide
Take them far away from me, so I can only run and hide
Let them go out to the sea and go away from land
They'll fill the sea and all I want is to be free from them

No my heart isn't hard, I do feel and I starve
I'll save my tears for someone else
Or cry some more until it helps
