Testo River Run - James Keelaghan
Testo della canzone River Run (James Keelaghan), tratta dall'album My Skies
River of blue
Cut through the valley
Swept past the willows and the sandy bar
Ran so swift
Locked in my memory
But the way things were
Is not the way things are
We used to swim in the crook of its arm
In the summer heat
Who could be blamed?
Avoided the rapids as best as we could
Never thought that that stream could be tamed
Long ago I gave up
That riverside valley
Traded coolies for towers of steel
Abandoned the vistas and valleys of childhood
For the things that they told me were real
No more would I run
With the speed of a colt
Across the gravel down by waterside
To race with the twig
I threw it at the bend
Couldn't beat it though God knows I tried
Now the river's not running as fast as it did
There's a dam there restricting the flow
And I don't run either as fast as I could
Guess that river and I have grown old
Now it's strange in returning
To places of youth
It seems your memory has made a mistake
'Cause the place that once scared you
With white water running
Has been turned by decree to a lake
Makes me think about how too
I smoothed out the wrinkles
Made the waters as calm as you please
Makes me think about how
That river and I
Were both happier when we ran free
Now the river's not running as fast as it did
There's a dam there restricting the flow
And I don't run either as fast as I could
Guess that river and I have grown old
Guess that river and I have grown old
