I'm gathering rainbows and picking up dreams
Got a heart full of heaven and a pocket full of schemes
Hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo

I'm busy as the river flowing down to the sea
Got a sweet sweet baby who's a fool about me
Whenever there's trouble she's a standin' at my side
And when the goin' gets so rough I just flow with the tide
Hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo
[ guitar ]
I'm pickin' up sunshine and handin' up smile
It's a long road to travel but I love every mile
Hi de ank tum daddyo daddyo hi de hi de ank tum daddyo
I'm busy as the river...
