The River - Espen Lind[00:00:00]
I come down from in the valley[00:00:17]
Where mistery's when you're young[00:00:21]
They bring you up to do[00:00:25]
Just like your daddy done[00:00:30]
Me and Mary we met in high school[00:00:33]
When she was just seventeen[00:00:37]
We'd ride out of have valley to[00:00:42]
Where the fields were green[00:00:46]
We went down to the river[00:00:49]
And into the river we'd dive[00:00:54]
Oh down to the river we'd ride[00:00:58]
Then I got Mary pregnant[00:01:07]
And man that was all she wrote[00:01:11]
And for my nineteenth birthday[00:01:15]
I got a union card and a wedding coat[00:01:18]
We went down to the courthouse[00:01:23]
And the judge put it all to rest[00:01:27]
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle[00:01:31]
No flowers no wedding dress[00:01:36]
That night we went down to the river[00:01:39]
And into the river we'd dive[00:01:44]
Oh down to the river we'd ride[00:01:48]
I got a job working construction for[00:01:56]
The Johnstown Company[00:02:00]
But lately there ain't been much[00:02:04]
Work on account of the economy[00:02:07]
Now all those things that seemed so important[00:02:12]
Well just vanished right into the air[00:02:16]
And I act like I don't remember[00:02:20]
Mary acts like she don't care[00:02:24]
But I remember us riding in my brother's car[00:02:28]
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir[00:02:32]
At night on them banks I'd lie awake[00:02:36]
So I could pull her close [00:02:40]
Feel love you breath she'd take[00:02:42]
Now those memories come back to haunt me[00:02:44]
They haunt me like a curse[00:02:48]
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true[00:02:52]
Or is it something worse[00:02:56]
That sends we down to the river[00:03:02]
And into the river we'd dive[00:03:06]
Oh down to the river we'd ride[00:03:10]
I know we will down to the river[00:03:18]
My baby and I[00:03:22]
Oh down to the river we ride[00:03:26]
