Lyrics
Verse
Riverside, I could not believe I'd find, someone who'd change my life, she stood in bright sunlight. She was tall and her auburn hair did fall, over shoulders I'd caress, smooth and naked 'neath her dress. But now she's gone, have I the strength to carry on, I shall dedicate this song to Amber Rain. My Amber Rain.
Verse
The words she spoke were for life and full of hope, that our lives would intertwine, I could see but I was blind. Within the night how I struggle with the fright, I might never see her face, never feel her sweet embrace. I know she's near, yes I hope to make it clear, find my way back to my dear Amber Rain. My Amber Rain.
Bridge
For a love I've never known, flow of love I need. Flow of love I need. She is what I need.
Verse
We used to walk, she would hold my hand and talk, of the places we could go, how I must see Toronto. My telephone sits so silent and alone, have another cigarette, hope that she might call me yet. I know she's gone, have I the strength to carry on; I shall dedicate this song to Amber Rain. My Amber Rain. My Amber Rain.
