about

Riva Jean
Written by Holley McCreary

lyrics

Oh, eyes of green
They see into the deepest, darkest side of me
The one I 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

And, 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 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
