Testo Roll Down the River - Harry Chapin
Testo della canzone Roll Down the River (Harry Chapin), tratta dall'album The Elektra Collection (1971-1978)
You keep looking out my window at the driftwood floating by
Like a flock of birds in fall time, you're just itching to fly
I know I cannot hold you 'cause you live life to the hilt
So go on, get out of here, girl, I don't want your guilt
Go on and roll down your river, babe (Roll down the river)
I bet you'll make that muddy water churn (River churning)
You've earned every scar that you've brought with you, baby
But there's one lesson that you'll never learn
What goes down that river don't return (What goes down don't return)
Yes, I remember when you washed up on my doorstep
You had a dirty face, a damp dress and a dream
But now you're just a fish out of the water, baby
It's time to throw you back into the stream
So go on and roll down your river, babe (Roll down the river)
I bet you'll make that muddy water churn (River churning)
You've earned every scar that you've brought with you, baby
But there's one lesson that you'll never learn
What goes down that river don't return (What goes down don't return)
Now don't you bleed on me about all our good times
Don't tell me that you'll never be the same (Never the same)
Ah, don't tell me anything but goodbye, baby
More than that would be just another game
So go on and roll down your river, babe (Roll down the river)
I bet you'll make that muddy water churn (River churning)
You've earned every scar that you've brought with you, baby
But there's one lesson that you'll never learn
What goes down that river don't return
(Roll on, river)
You leave me with a month of your sweet madness
(Roll on, river)
You leave me with your music in my head
(Roll on, river)
You leave me with the mystery of the river rolling
(Roll on, river)
You leave me with a desert for my bed
So go on and roll down your river, babe (Roll down the river)
I bet you'll make that muddy water churn (River churning)
You've earned every scar that you've brought with you, baby
But there's one lesson that you'll never learn
What goes down that river don't return
(Roll on, river)
(Roll on, river)
(Roll on, river)
(Roll on, river)
(Roll on, river)
(Roll on, river)
(Roll on, river)
(Roll on, river)
