[ti:the river]
[ar:Bruce Springsteen]
[00:03.41] Bruce Springsteen -the river
[00:17.51] I come from down in the valley
[00:21.65] Where mister when you're young
[00:25.90] They bring you up to do like your daddy done
[00:33.72] Me and Mary,we met in high school
[00:38.27] When she was just seventeen
[00:42.53] We'd drive outta this valley down to where the fields were green
[00:52.26] We'd go down to the river
[00:56.75] And into the river we'd dive
[00:59.83] Oh,down to the river we'd ride
[01:09.13] Then I got Mary pregnant
[01:13.01] And man,that was all she wrote
[01:17.33] And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
[01:25.45] We went down to the courthouse
[01:29.13] And the judge put it all to rest
[01:33.50] No wedding day smiles,no walk down the aisle
[01:37.90] No flowers,no wedding dress
[01:41.00] That night we'd go down to the river
[01:45.75] And into the river we'd dive
[01:49.20] Oh down to the river we'd ride
[02:33.24] I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
[02:41.53] But lately there ain't been much work,on account of the economy
[02:49.37] Now all them things that seemed so important
[02:53.32] Well mister they vanished right into the air
[02:57.29] Now I just act like I don't remember
[03:01.39] Mary acts like she don't care
[03:05.43] But I remember us riding in my brother's car
[03:09.54] Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
[03:13.97] At night on them banks I'd lie awake
[03:17.51] And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
[03:21.71] Now those memories come back to haunt me
[03:25.90] They haunt me like a curse
[03:30.02] Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
[03:34.17] Or is it something worse,
[03:37.54] That sends me down to the river
[03:42.15] Though I know the river is dry
[03:45.87] That sends me down to the river tonight
[03:54.92] Down to the river
[03:58.50] My baby and I
[04:03.11] Oh down to the river we ride...
