That Song About the River (其他)

That Song About the River - Don Williams

I have seen the paddle wheedlers

Rolling south on a summers day

I've seen the lovers at the guardrails

With stars in their lemonade

And I've heard the hobos gather

Heard their banjos brace the blade

Heard them sing about the river

Called it the lazy mans parade

Sing me that song about the river

Green going away

You know I always did feel like a drifter

At this time of day

Last night I stood by the highway

Pretended I was on my way

You know a hundred thousand headlights

Couldn't match the milky way

And when the moonlight touches the water

Surely something touches me

And I go reaching for the river

Like its reaching for the sea

So sing me that song about the river

Green going away

You know I always did feel like a drifter

At this time of day

Somethings go on forever

But truth don't ever stray

The wind may brush the water

But the river holds its way

So sing me that song about the river

Green going away

You know I always did feel like a drifter

At this time of day
