《The River》歌词

[00:00:00] The River - Espen Lind

[00:00:17] I come down from in the valley

[00:00:21] Where mistery's when you're young

[00:00:25] They bring you up to do

[00:00:30] Just like your daddy done

[00:00:33] Me and Mary we met in high school

[00:00:37] When she was just seventeen

[00:00:42] We'd ride out of have valley to

[00:00:46] Where the fields were green

[00:00:49] We went down to the river

[00:00:54] And into the river we'd dive

[00:00:58] Oh down to the river we'd ride

[00:01:07] Then I got Mary pregnant

[00:01:11] And man that was all she wrote

[00:01:15] And for my nineteenth birthday

[00:01:18] I got a union card and a wedding coat

[00:01:23] We went down to the courthouse

[00:01:27] And the judge put it all to rest

[00:01:31] No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle

[00:01:36] No flowers no wedding dress

[00:01:39] That night we went down to the river

[00:01:44] And into the river we'd dive

[00:01:48] Oh down to the river we'd ride

[00:01:56] I got a job working construction for

[00:02:00] The Johnstown Company

[00:02:04] But lately there ain't been much

[00:02:07] Work on account of the economy

[00:02:12] Now all those things that seemed so important

[00:02:16] Well just vanished right into the air

[00:02:20] And I act like I don't remember

[00:02:24] Mary acts like she don't care

[00:02:28] But I remember us riding in my brother's car

[00:02:32] Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir

[00:02:36] At night on them banks I'd lie awake

[00:02:40] So I could pull her close

[00:02:42] Feel love you breath she'd take

[00:02:44] Now those memories come back to haunt me

[00:02:48] They haunt me like a curse

[00:02:52] Is a dream a lie if it don't come true

[00:02:56] Or is it something worse

[00:03:02] That sends we down to the river

[00:03:06] And into the river we'd dive

[00:03:10] Oh down to the river we'd ride

[00:03:18] I know we will down to the river

[00:03:22] My baby and I

[00:03:26] Oh down to the river we ride
