Bruce Springsteen - The River - Sözleri

I come from down in the valley 

where mister when you're young 

They bring you up to do like your daddy done 

Me and Mary we met in high school 

when she was just seventeen 

We'd ride out of this valley down 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 

And 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'd dive 

Oh down to the river we did 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 

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'd lie awake 

And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd 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 

That sends me down to the river tonight 

Down to the river 

my baby and I 

Oh down to the river we ride
