Up and Down the River Songtext
von Milton

Wheels keep spinning
But you can′t keep from grinning to yourself anymore
Train tracks go snapping
Your sneakers go tapping on a train car floor
Just checking out the water
Like any son or daughter who's ever dreamed of being free
For days and months and years
You tell a story no one hears in a place no one sees

But up and down the river
Your message is delivered to yourself, yourself, nobody else
When bells start ringing
I wanna hear you singing to yourself
Yeah, yeah
Nobody, nobody
No, no, no, no, no, nobody else gonna do
Nobody, nobody
No, no, no, no, no, nobody else gonna do
Nobody but you


Yeah, well the sun′s rising and sinking
But you can't help but thinking to yourself anymore
To be a saint that no one blesses
Who knows not what success is, what's that gonna be good for?
You′re not sure, but you got a dream, you got a vision
And no time for indecision, you′re gonna have to hold on tight
To every cut and every splinter
Every long cold lonely winter, every dark hungry night
That's right

But up and down the river
Your message is delivered to yourself, yourself, nobody else
When bells start ringing
I wanna hear you singing to yourself, yourself
Yeah, yeah
Nobody, nobody
No, no, no, no, no, nobody else gonna do

No, no, no
Nobody, nobody
Oh, no, no, no, no, nobody else gonna do
Yeah, yeah, nobody but you, come on
