Testo The River - Rolf Sanchez
Testo della canzone The River (Rolf Sanchez), tratta dall'album Beste Zangers 2019 (Rolf Sanchez)
I come from down in the valley
Where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do
Like your daddy's done
Me and Mary, we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley
Up to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river, we'd dive
Oh, down to the river, we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
And, man, that was all she wrote
For my nineteenth birthday
I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding-day smiles, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
That night, we went down to the river
And into the river, we dived
Oh, down to the river, we'd ride
I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately, there ain't been much work
On account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well, mister, they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
And Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night, on them banks, I lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
Oh, down to the river, we ride
Down to the river
Oh, baby and I
