Dry River Lyrics

I was born a strange-looking man
But you saw me as more than I am
But without you, I'm just an ugly guy
Bury my head in the sand

Ooh dry river
Dry river

I remember the time that you first came
Riding for free on a grey eastern train
That smells after the rain
Many appeared, but I slain them with soul
And your eyes were a sharp lightning bolt

Ooh dry river
Dry river
I followed the dry river
I followed the dry river

I was always the quiet one
As ambiguous as they come
But without you, I'm that insidious guy
Hideous amphibious no water supply

Ooh dry river
Dry river
I followed the dry river
I followed the dry river
I followed the dry river
I followed the dry river

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
