fogelberg dan - The River слова песни
I was born by a riverRolling past a townGiven no directionJust told to keep my head down.As I took my positionA man fired a gunI was so steeped in traditionThat I could not run.I was raised by a riverWeaned upon the skyAnd in the mirror of the watersI saw myself learn to cry.As my tears hit the surfaceI saw what had been done.I gave feet to my freedomAnd I did run.Someday laterI saw the writing in the dustIt told me how I should travelIt told me who I was.I ran far from the riverFar as I could seeAnd as the sun hit my shouldersI felt it burning me.How I longed for the watersAs the fire ragedHow I longed for the riverAs I aged.I will die by a riverAs it rolls awayBury me in the nighttimeDo not waste the day.High above the watersThat roll on to the sea.All the angels in heaven will laugh at me.They will laugh at me.My life was naught but a riverRolling through my brainMade of so many teardropsMade of so much pain.
