《The River》歌词

[00:00:00] The River - Tom Chaplin

[00:00:11] I'm walking down the empty streets we used to know

[00:00:20] With all those teenage dreams of conquering the world

[00:00:29] In between the boats along the quay

[00:00:38] Same old river staring back at me

[00:00:47] She's watching everybody come and go

[00:00:57] Carried here then washed away, given to the flow

[00:01:06] But every time I go back there

[00:01:11] I feel I'm winding up nowhere

[00:01:15] Why keep asking it to deliver

[00:01:20] When those days are down to the river

[00:01:26] It's gotta be time that I move on

[00:01:30] The good old days they are long gone

[00:01:34] Let it carry me into the future

[00:01:40] Out of the background

[00:01:42] Into the foreground

[00:01:44] Giving it all to the river

[00:01:47] So meet me somewhere new on some bright afternoon

[00:01:56] When you have shed the skin that holds me back from you

[00:02:03] Oh everything you want was long ago

[00:02:14] Carried off and washed away, given to the flow

[00:02:24] But every time I go back there

[00:02:28] I feel I'm winding up nowhere

[00:02:32] Why keep asking it to deliver

[00:02:37] When those days are down to the river

[00:02:42] It's gotta be time that I move on

[00:02:47] The good old days they are long gone

[00:02:51] Let it carry me into the future

[00:02:57] Out of the background

[00:02:59] Into the foreground

[00:02:59] Giving it all to the river

[00:03:03] The river rolls on, rolls on

[00:03:06] Forever rolls on, rolls on

[00:03:11] The river rolls on, rolls on

[00:03:15] Forever rolls on, rolls on

[00:03:21] It's gotta be time that I move on

[00:03:26] The good old days they are long gone

[00:03:30] Let it carry me into the future

[00:03:35] Out of the background

[00:03:37] Into the foreground

[00:03:38] Giving it all to the river

[00:03:43] Giving it all to the river
