| | Goodbye To A River Lyrics Artist(Band):Don Henley
“The rains have come early”, they say “We're all gonna wash away” Well, that's all right with me If heaven's torrent can wash clean the arrogance that lies unseen In the damage done since we have gone where we ought not to be Goodbye to a river, goodbye to a river; so long Lakes and levees, dams and locks, they put that river in a box It was running wild and men must have control We live our lives in starts and fits; we lose our wonder bit by bit We condescend and in the end we lose our very souls Goodbye to a river, goodbye to a river, so long The dirty water washes down poisoning the common ground Taking sins of farm and town and bearing them away The captains of industry and their tools on the hill They're killing everything divine What will I tell this child of mine? I make a church out of words as the years dull my senses And I try to hold on to the world that I knew I struggle to cross generational fences And the beauty that still remains; I can touch it through you Goodbye to a river, goodbye to a river, so long Goodbye to a river, goodbye to a river, so long Goodbye to a river, goodbye to a river, roll on If you find some error in Goodbye To A River Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Goodbye To A River Sublime music | Reviewer: Jon | 8/3/2008 A masterful piece of writing, this song brings me to tears every time I hear it, and brings home the tragedy of our twisted opportunistic stance toward the source of all life on earth. A subtle variety in chord progression provides a haunting depth to the beautiful melody, and Henley puts the power of his soul into the vocals. The piano accompaniment is sublime as well. A great piece to listen to when you need to feel sad. Sad But True | Reviewer: Lisa | 4/16/2007 Don Henley sums up the state of the world in the lyrics of this song. Too often we do not consider the consequences of what we do to the land; this tune is a reminder that we need to reexamine our behavior and our consciences. There is not an endless supply of water and we need to protect this vital natural resource.
