The River Man

Musik Elton John, Brandi Carlile und Andrew Watt / Text Bernie Taupin

erschienen auf dem Album Who Believes In Angels

 

 

All the weekend warriors touching down

Leaving a black stain on the sacred ground

Ready and willing to feel wild

Even the traffic sings in tune and perfect time

 

Bet you're feeling the wind is at your back

Pushing the train to jump the track

Racing the night line, never slowing down

 

They all roll downtown, where the water goes

Singing nobody knows what the river knows

You had a good long run like the river man done

Try to wear it like a hard-livin' son of a gun

I guess nobody told you how it goes

Who knows what the river man knows?

 

All of the drifters sleeping in

The river man ties his shoes, he's clocking in

Swingers and tough guys leave when the bell rings

Sunday's the high tide, and all the lines are fraying

 

You can pull up a chair and wear your beads

Dance in the moonlit Fleur-de-Lis

And curse the morning while the river sings

 

They all roll downtown, where the water goes

Singing nobody knows what the river knows

You had a good long run like the river man done

Try to wear it like a hard-livin' son of a gun

I guess nobody told you how it goes

Who knows what the river man knows?

 

All the weekend warriors touching down

Leaving a black stain on the sacred ground

Ready and willing to feel wild

Even the traffic sings in tune and perfect time

 

They all roll downtown, where the water goes

Singing nobody knows what the river knows

You had a good long run like the river man done

Try to wear it like a hard-livin' son of a gun

I guess nobody told you how it goes

Oh no, I guess nobody told you how it goes

Who knows what the river man know–

 

No, no, no, no

Who knows

What the river man knows?

No, no, no, no
