I don't mind if the bugs get in the house If it's in the service of my friends comin' in and out Less the water splashed over the edge Take what you need and please come back again If you bear a heavy heart tell me how you feel Start where you are you know i'm right here If the streets they flood and you can't get through If everyone goes mad like they're tryin' to If the day should come You do the worst that you could do This world is like a river I'm on the same side as you I should bring the chairs out of the rain Sure miss you already, however long you stay Sorry for the time that we spent mad What a pity to have wasted any precious time we had If you need a place to stay sleep here on the couch My door is always open if you're up or if you're down If the streets they flood and we know they do If everyone goes mad like they're tryin' to If the day should come I do the worst that I could do Oh this world is like a river I'm on the same side as you Any place they try to drag you name Know I'll never follow My heart will never change Everybody's got an axe to grind Stay sharp just like you I follow my own mind Anybody says they know says they draw a line Keep holding on to me and I think we'll be just fine If the streets they flood and you can't get through If everyone goes mad and we know they do If the day has come You think they really come for you Oh this world is like a river I'm on the same side as you
