Don Henley Inside Job Goodbye To A River (don henley/stan lynch/jai winding/frank simes) 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¡º 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 |
