《Down by the River》歌词

[00:00:00] Down By The River - Albert Hammond Jr

[00:00:05] City life was getting us down so we spent a weekend out of town

[00:00:10] Pitched our tent on a patch of ground down by the river

[00:00:15] Lit a fire and drank some wine you put your jeans on top of mine

[00:00:20] I said come in the water's fine down by the river

[00:00:26] Down by the river down by the river

[00:00:31] Said come in the water's fine down by the river

[00:00:39] Didn't feel too good all night so we took a walk in the morning light

[00:00:43] And came across the strangest sight down by the river

[00:00:48] Silver fish lay on it's side it was washed up by the early tide

[00:00:54] I wonder how it died down by the river

[00:00:58] Down by the river down by the river

[00:01:03] A silver fish lay on it's side down by the river

[00:01:11] The doctor put us both to bed he dosed us up

[00:01:14] And he shook his head

[00:01:16] Only foolish people go he said down by the river

[00:01:21] Why do willows weep said he because they're dying gradually

[00:01:26] From the waste from the factories down by the river

[00:01:31] Down by the river down by the river

[00:01:36] Why do willows weep said he down by the river

[00:01:43] In time the riverbanks will die the reeds will wilt

[00:01:47] And the ducks won't fly

[00:01:49] There will be a tear in the otter's eye down by the river

[00:01:53] The banks will soon be black and dead

[00:01:56] And where the otter raised his head

[00:01:58] Will be a clean white skull instead down by the river

[00:02:04] Down by the river down by the river

[00:02:08] The banks will soon be black and dead down by the river

[00:02:13] Down by the river down by the river

[00:02:18] The banks will soon be black and dead down by the river
