The River Runs Low — текст песни (Bruce Hornsby)

B. r. hornsby/john hornsby



The rain held back again

Havent felt a drop since you went away

Outside of town, the hills are brown

I guess way out there youd call em golden

Lines outside the welfare store

The clock is stopped at the bank next door

They yelled like hell when the boys left home

Now just like you theyre all gone



The river runs low tonight

Eyes are closed on the waterline

The river runs low tonight

And youre always drifting through my mind

The river runs low tonight

And nobody waits for the tides to rise

But Im gonna wait till you make

The river run high



The old mans gettin on

Keeps the morning paper in his overcoat

It keeps him warm in the cold storm

And he told me today I look a little lonely

Up in the air theyre heading south

The sky is light to the west of town

With a little cash I could get around

You know Id come out there and find you



The river runs low tonight

Eyes are closed on the waterline

The river runs low tonight

And youre always drifting through my mind

The river runs low tonight

And nobody waits for the tides to rise

But Im gonna wait till you make

The river run high



Up in the air theyre heading south

The sky is light to the west of town

With a little cash I could get around

You know Id come out there and find you



The river runs low tonight

Eyes are closed on the waterline

The river runs low tonight

And youre always drifting through my mind

The river runs low tonight

And nobody waits for the tides to rise

But Im gonna wait till you make

The river run high
