Letra de The Place Where the Rivers Run (Live at Stirling 2018)
I'm backing up the lorry, can't wait for night to come I'm sweeping out the backyard on a Friday afternoon We'll gather round the players, head out for the stars Pack the van with poetry, drums and the guitarsWe'll take Willie for the whiskey, Billy for the door We'll take Mary, Kate and Lizzy for the dancing round the floor We'll turn this empty hall into a city full of lights And lift the summer spirits through the passing of the nightThere was laughing and there were tears There were so many shattered hopes and dreams But there was treasure and forty years In the place where the rivers runWe'll hammer on the two-step, we'll lay it on the snare Romancing the accordions, waltzing out the aires These sacred swaying anthems within our lover's grasp Stripping down the willow to the footsteps of the pastThere was laughing and there were tears There were so many shattered hopes and dreams But there was treasure and forty years In the place where the rivers runWe were kings and queens, the reels go round It's the badge of our culture, say it loud And it's all in the gift of the young and the proud In the place where the rivers runWe're loading out the backdoor now the hour's come We're driving through the black hills to the red and rising sun There's a river in the distance far as eyes could see Home by Kyle and Broadford round by Memphis TennesseeThere was laughing and there were tears There were so many shattered hopes and dreams But there was treasure and forty years In the place where the rivers runIn the place where the rivers run
