letra de when the river went back down - party crashers
[verse]
the southern bank stood higher
we looked out from it to see
rooftops floating on a lake
that spilled into the sky so deep
the traffic made for higher ground
a snake into the trees
brakelight constellations for
the ones who didn’t leave
[bridge]
the cook who swore his fish sold better on the wetter days
was cursing all the times he prayed for rain
[verse]
the only road left out of town
returned us to the years
when ocean-going vessels linked
a village to thе far off seas
[pre-chorus]
a brilliant youth that fades away
times that wе would never see again
[chorus]
and you look at me like there could ever be a way
to swim back all the way up the rivers of our past
[verse]
a bridge no longer let them pass
a railway stole the river’s past
a river that had never slept
they let that river dream
[bridge]
locals laughed at city people running in the rain
silently it plotted its escape
[chorus]
and you look at me like there could ever be a way
to swim back all the way up the rivers of our past
[verse]
the clouds they rubbed their stinging eyes
the mountains couldn’t hold the skies
the river broke the northern bank
and headed for the sea so green
i know, i used to be the same
i’d hide below the bank
my only thoughts to float away
but now i’m coming back
[pre-chorus]
when the river went back down
was the first time that i saw this town
when the river went back down
was the first time that i saw this town
