The River Knows Your Name

作曲：John Hiatt

oh the river knows your name

and your tears falling like the rain

all around you suffering and pain

oh the river knows your name

and the river

hears you cry

as the lightning cracks the open sky

as your momma sings a lullaby

oh the river she knows why

let the river wash you down

beneath the surface with the rushing sound

like a freight train passing through a town

let the river wash you down

let the river take away

all the words you and i could never say

in the silence darling let us pray

let the river take it all away

oh the river knows your name

from the brazos to the wabash to the seine

no two journeys are ever quite the same

but the river knows your name

oh the river knows your name
