lyrics

where does it come from, where does it go
as long as its flowing the riverbanks know
when they're about to be dry land again
how the river loves the rain

without it the river starts to shrink
and holy throats go dry for drink
as the last drop drips into the main
how the river loves the rain

love the rain, like the river does
like the plains in sunny Spain
our lifeblood in all your glory
how the river loves the rain

the river provides for an abundance of life
birds and fish and the fisherman's wife
all of them thirsty for more of the same
how the river loves the rain

and people come by dressed in all kinds of clothes
as boatman or damsel in buttons and bows
they chirp, they whistle, they yell and they scream
determined to detail the shape of their dreams
no quiet til the heavens open again
how the river loves the rain
