Artist/Band: David Byrne
Lyrics for Song: River
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - David Byrne



I'm standing on the stage

I'm working in a restaurant

I make a decent wage

And I will sing into the microphone



The river rise up

And flows above the interstate

Beyond the schools and shops how far

There's no way to communicate



And the water's moving on

Beyond the lies and hypocrites

I'm thinking of a song

I need you to remember it



The forest is alive

It asks us to participate

We lifted up our eyes



To promise and reciprocate



We fell down on our knees

For every human being



One sad day, I will fly away

And one sad day, I will tip toe away



But a change is gonna come

Like Sam Cooke sang in '63

The river sings a song to me

On every St. Cecilia's day



So when I was reborn

I went back to the restaurant

The river's moving on from here

To sing it's crazy symphony

And I'll go home

Where you are right in front of me
