Текст песни: Watching the River Go By + перевод

As I write this letter; I can hear the river

Runnin' by the back door, whispering a dream

You’re somewhere in the night sky

high above the ocean

Flying across the dateline

I hope you get some sleep

As you move, as you fly, think of me watching

the river go by

I’m no good at saying goodbye, so hello

from the river and I

I’m not an easy father, I never have been

I’m a little like this country- my story runs deep

I used to tie your laces, carry you on my shoulders

I held you after bad dreams, and rocked you back to sleep

So as you move, as you fly, think of me watching

the river go by

I’n no good at saying goodbye

so hello fromn the river and I You’re so far away making a life of your own

I’m amazed by what you’ve done

You’re so far away in a world I’ll never know

I’m amazed by you my son

So as you move, as you fly, think of me watching the river go by

I’m no good at saying goodbye
