|
Oh the river knows your name |
|
And your tears falling like the rain |
|
All around you suffering and pain |
|
Oh the river knows your name |
|
And the river hears you cry |
|
As the lightning cracks the open sky |
|
As your momma sings a lullaby |
|
Oh the river she knows why |
|
Let the river wash you down |
|
Beneath the surface with a rushing sound |
|
Like a freight train passing through a town |
|
Let the river wash you down |
|
Let the river take away |
|
All the words you and i could never say |
|
In the silence darling let us pray |
|
Let the river take it all away |
|
Oh the river she knows your name |
|
From the brazos to the wabash to the seine |
|
No two journeys are ever quite the same |
|
But the river knows your name |
|
Oh the river knows your name |
