Don Henley - Goodbye to a river

Tekst :

The rains have come early, they say
We re all gonna wash away
Well, that s all right with me
If heaven s torrent can wash clean
The arrogance that lies unseen
In the damage done since we have gone
Where we ought not to be
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long

Lakes and levees, dams and locks
They put that river in a box
It was running wild
And men must have control
We live our lives in starts and fits
We lose our wonder bit by bit
We condescend and in the end
We lose our very souls
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long

The dirty water washes down
Poisoning the common ground
Taking sins of farm and town
And bearing them away
The captains of industry
And their tools on the hill
They re killing everything divine
What will I tell this child of mine

(Solo)
I make a church out of words
As the years dull my senses
And I try to hold on to the world that I knew
I struggle to cross generational fences
And the beauty that still remains¡ª
I can touch it through you
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long

Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long

Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long

Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
Roll on

  • How bad do you want it
  • Shangri-la
  • Love rules
  • Not enough love in the world
  • The unclouded day
  • Workin it
  • Long way home
  • Nobody else in the world but you
  • For my wedding
  • Inside job
  • Last worthless evening
  • Through your hands
  • Them and us

    I can take you down to everywhere I go
    Never want to take you down that low
    Been starin out my window
    Into negative space
    On the pavement from the elevator

    Down the cornershop to buy the paper
    Had a premonition you would be there too
    No way...

    Immigrant song

    Led Zeppelin Cover

    AH...
    AH...
    WE COME FROM THE LAND OF THE ICE N SNOW
    FROM THE MIDNIGHT SUN, WHERE THE HOT SPRINGS BLOW

    THE HAMMER OF THE GODS,
    WILL DRIVE OUR SHIPS TO NEW LAND
    TO FIGHT THE HORDE

    Crawling

    I m paralysed
    Stuck between the devil and your smile
    I ve got my feet wet baby
    Just about to die
    And then you throw me back
    Against the wall
    What a nice surprise
    Watch me fall
    And you won t see...

    On a slow boat to China

    I d like to get you,
    on a slow boat to China,
    all to myself, alone.

    To get you and keep you
    in my arms ever more.
    leave all your lovers
    weepin on a faraway shore.

    Out on the briney...

    Tonight

    I ve been wondering around thinking what I should do
    And everytime that I chased, was everytime that I d lose
    Now I know we ve been right her before
    But that shouldn t count anymore
    What we believe we should be, we should be.
