River — текст песни (Billy Squier)

It`s comin` on twilight, and all the world`s at ease
They`re pullin` down the curtains, sailin` off to sweet release
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But me I`m not so quiet, I`m restless and I`m mean
I won`t let you know I`m bleedin`, that I`m crawlin on my knees
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

I tried hard to help her, let her do as she pleased
And I loved her so naughty, made her weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
We`re so hard to handle, we`re selfish and we`re sad
And we throw away those precious things we work so hard to have
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so deep I would swim away from time
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Do we have to say goodbye

It`s comin` on daybreak, and everyone`s at peace
They`re dreamin` bout deliverance from the wounds that will not cease
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But me I`m not so lucky, I`m anxious and I`m lean
I`ve made a tone of money but I can`t buy out this scene
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river I skate away on
I have to say goodbye
