[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Big brown tin can lying in the black sand
We used to lie there and watch the day
Now the leaves have all turned to grey
[Chorus]
Down by the river where the river don't flow
We can't go there no more
Down by the river where the river don't flow
The birds don't sing, ain't it a sad thing
[Verse 2]
Little child upon my knee holds a picture of a tree
Tears in his eyes say where'd they all go
The tears in mine say I really don't know
[Chorus]
Down by the river where the river don't flow
We can't go there no more
Down by the river where the river don't flow
The birds don't sing, ain't it a sad thing
[Bridge]
Listen to the wind blowing over the land
Listen to the reasons that you don't understand
Reach out and take my hand and we'll run, run, run, run
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Down by the river where the river don't flow
We can't go there no more
Down by the river where the river don't flow
The birds don't sing, ain't it a sad thing
[Verse 3]
Cities eating up the land, progress eating up the planet
The writing's in the slime on the sewer wall
You better look see or we're all gonna fall
[Chorus]
Down by the river where the river don't flow
We can't go there no more
Down by the river where the river don't flow
The birds don't sing, ain't it a sad thing
[Outro]
