"River, Run Me Dry" lyrics - DIDO

A thousand faces on a grey, grey day
A million houses under dull, dark sky
So much noise and so little time
Oh river, run me dry

A natural world with these strange men's votes
Go back home and lock your door
So much noise and so little time
Oh river, run me dry

[Chorus:]
River, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry

Sweet palm trees on an ocean breeze
Pico butter and deep blue seas
A thousand miles of clear blue sky
Taking time to let it pass me by

An empty space to my open door
A turning fan on a wooden floor
Drift away in the sweet sunshine
Welcome to this world of mine
Oh river, run me dry

[Chorus 2x:]
Oh river, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry
Oh river, run me dry
