C F We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill A# F As the day begs the night C for mercy, love C F The sun so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars A# F Carved into stone C On the face of it C F The moon is up and over One Tree Hill A# F C We see the sun go down in your eyes Chorus: A# F C You run like a river, on like the sea A# F C You run like a river runs to the sea And in the world a heart of darkness, a fire-zone Where poets speak their heart Then bleed for it Jara sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of one You know his blood still cries From the ground Chorus: It runs like a river runs to the sea It runs like a river to the sea I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts While bullets rape the night of the merciful I'll see you again When the stars fall from the sky And the moon has turned red Over One Tree Hill Chorus: We run like a river runs to the sea We run like a river to the sea A# F And when it's raining C Raining hard A# F That's when the rain will C Break the heart A# F Raining, rainin’ in the heart, C rainin’ in your heart, A# F Raining, rain into your heart, C rainin’, rainin’, rainin’ A# F Rain into your heart, C A# F C rainin’ woo! C F A# F C Oh, great ocean. Oh, great sea. C F A# F C Run to the ocean. Run to the sea.
