The River

David Byrne

Letra

    I'm standing on the stage
    I'm working in a restaurant
    I make a decent wage- and I-
    Will sing into the microphone

    The river rise up
    & flows above the interstate
    beyond the schools and shops-
    there's no way to communicate

    The water's moving on
    Beyond the lies and hypocrites
    I'm thinking of a song
    I need you to remember it
    The forest is alive
    It asks us to participate
    We lifted up our eyes
    To promise and reciprocate

    We fell down on our knees
    For ev'ry human being-
    One sad day I will fly away
    And one sad day I will tip toe away
    Oooh

    But a change is gonna come
    Like Sam Cooke sang in '63
    The river sings a song- to me-
    On ev'ry St Cecilia's day

    So when I was reborn
    I went back to the restaurant
    The river's moving on- from here-
    To sing it's crazy symphony
    I'll go home- where you are
    right in front of me.
