Rain on the river
  Turns the torrent to a flood
  Swim or you'll never rise above
  Two lonely people
  Can mend a broken heart
  Love you'll never fall apart
    But can you tell me why?
    They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club
  They played a good game of football in Mucron
  They got everyone off at the Top Rank babe
  If you could ever get into their suite
  Avenue Tombola and Social
  We just drove right on by
  We were on our way to the big time babe
  To the great gold record in the sky
    Sun in the morning
  Brings the flowers from a bud
  Hail to the giver
  Life and love
    Two lonely people
  Can mend a broken heart
  Love you'll never fall apart
    But can you tell me why?
