martyn joseph - the river كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
i come from down in the valley
where, mister, when you’re young
they bring you up to do
just like your daddy done
me and mary we met in high school
where she was just seventeen
we’d ride out of the valley
down to where the fields were green

[chorus]
and go down to the river
and into the river we’d dive
oh, down to the river we’d ride

[verse 2]
then i got mary pregnant
and, man, that was all she wrotе
and for my nineteenth birthday
i got a union card and a wedding coat
we all wеnt down to the courthouse
where the judge put it all to rest
no wedding day smile, no walk down the aisle
no flowers, no wedding dress

[chorus]
that night we went down to the river
and into the river we’d dive
oh, down to the river we ride
[verse 3]
i got a job working construction
for the johnston company
but lately there ain’t been much work
on account of the economy
now all those things that seemed so important, mister
they just vanished right into the air
just act like i don’t remember
and mary acts like she don’t care

[verse 4]
but i remember us driving in my brother’s car
her body tanned and wet down at the reservoir
at night on those 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

[chorus]
that sends me down to the river?
but i know the river is dry
oh, down to the river we ride
down to the river
my baby and i
oh, down to the river we ride
i_yi_yi
[outro]
oh, oh
oh
ooh, ooh
ooh
