RIVIERA RUN

Down at the river
The river of dreams
Where mountains are buried
By clear-water streams

Birds have flown free here
For hundreds of years
Cry for the river
Slow rolling tears.

They came from the valley
To the river of dreams
Built towns into cities
By the clear-watered streams

They fished in the waters
Of the river of dreams
And sent their big steamers
Down the clear-watered streams

They made it a kingdom
Called Riviera Run
Children do play now
Where the wild once run

They built their great cities
behind walls of stone
And cut down the forest
to set up their home

And down by the river
The river of dreams
Where mountains were buried
by clear-water streams

Birds once flew free here
That's changed with the years
We'll cry for the river
Slow rolling tears
