Until the Rivers Run Dry

If what I earn, and what I deserve
isn't worth the price I pay,
I just save it for a rainy day.
The truth is that everyone else
shares the same cloudy sky,
and it's so useless blaming yourself.
Heaven knows you try.
If it takes until the rivers run dry,
if it takes me all the rest of my life to learn why,
I'm going to wait until the rivers run dry.
