The River (feat. Simone Jackson) [Live from Soldier Field – 1977] Songtext
von Daisy Jones & the Six

You know, you′re really locked out Chicago
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage
My sister and my best friend
Simone Jackson

I could've sworn this was the way
Tell me again, why do we stay
On such a lonely, lonely, lonely road?
You′d never guess, I'd never know
We're on the same side and it′s gonna
Be a lonely, lonely, lonely road

If I follow you to the river
Send my blues out to the sea
Will you stay with me forever?
Will you chase me in my dreams?
If I throw it all in the river
And let the rhythm take the lead
Will it stay with you whenever
That you lean on me?


Ooh, I know, I know
Ooh, I know

You had a choice I couldn′t make
And this is the last turn that you take
On a lonely, lonely, lonely road
Give me your hand, here is my heart
Where does it end? When do we start?
On a lonely, lonely, lonely road

If I follow you to the river
Send my blues out to the sea
Will you stay with me forever?
Will you chase me in my dreams?
If I throw it all in the river
And let the rhythm take the lead
Will it stay with you whenever
That you lean on me?

Ooh, I know, I know
Ooh, I know


I'm an echo in your shadow
And your shadows, I′m in too deep
In the river, your reflection
Is a promise you couldn't keep
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I lost you here

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I took you here
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I lost you here
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
This is fair

Oh-oh, ah
Ooh-ah, ah
Ooh-ah, ah
Ooh-ah, ah
If I follow you to the river

If I follow you to the river (if I follow you to the river)
And your shadows, run out so deep
Ooh, if I follow you to the river (if I follow you to the river)
And your shadows, in the river, your reflection
Is a promise you couldn′t keep
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, if I (ooh, oh)

(If I follow you to the river) ooh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I follow you there (to the river)
In the river, your reflection (oh, if I follow you to the river)
Is a promise you couldn't keep
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I lost you here
I′m an echo, and your shadow
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (oh-oh)
I lost you here
I know, I know, I lost you here
