Текст песни: Paul McCartney. Wingspan Hits & History. Daytime Nightime Suffering.

What does she get for all the love she gave you
There on the ladder of regrets?
Mighty river, give her all she gets

What does she get for all the love she gave you
There on the ladder of regrets?
Daytime nighttime suffering is all she gets

Where all the prizes for the games she entered
With little chance of much success?
Daytime nighttime suffering is all she gets

Come on, river, all the flow
Let your love of you people show
Come on, river, flow through me
Let your love of you people be
You are the river, I am the stream
Flow mighty river through me

What does it pay to play the leading lady
When the like the damsel in distress
Daytime nighttime suffering is all she gets

No less, no more
(No less, no more)
No sea, no shore
(No sea, no shore)

No sand, no pail
(No sand, no pail)
No fairy tale anymore

Come on, river, flow through me
Don't be stopped by insanity
Come on, river, overflow
Let your love for your neighbors show

You are the river, I am the stream
[Unverified] it
But if we forget it every now and then
But if you don't feel it, later on you'll regret it
And if we let it we could set it free, you and me
