Текст песни: That Song About the River + перевод

I have seen the paddle wheelers

Rolling south on a summers' day.

I’ve seen the lovers at the guardrails

With stars in their lemonade

And I’ve heard the hobo’s gather,

Heard their banjo’s brace the blade.

Heard them sing about the river,

Called it the lazy man’s parade.

Sing me that song about the river,

Green going away.

You know I always did feel like a drifter

'Bout this time of day.

Last night I stood by the highway,

Pretended I was on my way.

You know a hundred thousand headlights

Couldn’t match the milky way

And when the moonlight touches the water,

Surely somethin' touches me And I go reachin' for the river

Like it’s reachin' for the sea.

So, Sing me that song about the river,

Green going away.

You know I always did feel like a drifter

'Bout this time of day.

Somethings go on forever

But truth don’t ever stray.

The wind may brush the water

But the river won’t persuade.

So, Sing me that song about the river,

Green going away.

You know I always did feel like a drifter

'Bout this time of day…
