There's a shallow river
Running down the hill
Moving softly through
The valley where I live

When it rains, when it rains
When it rains the river runs so deep

When the water is clear
And still like a mirror
I can see you
On the surface of the river

When it rains, when it rains
When it rains the river runs so deep

In the rain, in the rain
In the rain
In the rain I weep

Where will I find you when I need you
My long lost friend?
Bring back the mirror
So I can see your face again

When it rains, when it rains
When it rains the river runs so deep

In the rain, in the rain
In the rain
In the rain I weep

In the rain, in the rain
In the rain
Into the river deep
