Lyrics

Riva Jean

Oh, eyes of green
They see into the deepest, darkest side of me
The one I've tried to hide so long
You've finally seen
And I can't lie to you no more

And you're telling me
You'll be leaving once the leaves turn
Red from green
The fall will see you finally walk away from me
And I can't stand the truth of what you've said

Oh Riva Jean
Tell me when you said you're leaving
All you really mean
Is you'll be coming back in the morning
Just to me
And you'll stay forevermore

Yes, I cast aside
The love you tried to show me
I know I should've tried
To make you feel like you're the only girl alive
Who could set my heart on fire

Oh, angry words
Spoken in the heat of what was
So absurd
To think that I could let my lines become so blurred
Makes me hang my head in shame.

Oh, my Riva Jean
Tell me when you said you're leaving
All you really mean
Is you'll be coming back in the morning
Just to me
Riva, Riva Jean

Oh, my Riva Jean
Tell me when you said you're leaving
All you really mean
Is you'll be coming back in the morning
Just to me
Riva, Riva Jean
Oh Riva, Riva Jean
