Elton John , Brandi Carlile - The River Man [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1: Brandi Carlile]
All the weekend warriors touching down
Leaving a black stain on the sacred ground
Ready and willing to feel wild
Even the traffic sings in tune and perfect time

[Pre-Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
Bet you're feeling the wind is at your back
Pushing the train to jump the track
Racing the night line, never slowing down

[Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
(Oh, oh)
They all roll downtown where the water goes
(Oh, oh)
Singing nobody knows what the weather knows
You had a good long run like the river man done
Try to wear it like a hard livin' son of a gun
I guess nobody told you how it goes
Who knows what the river man knows?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
All of the drifters sleeping in
Thе river man ties his shoes, hе's clocking in
The swingers and tough guys leave when the bell rings
Sunday's the high tide and all the line are fraying

[Pre-Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
You can pull up a chair and wear your beads
Dance in moonlit Fleur-de-Lis
And curse the morning while the rivers sing

[Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
(Oh, oh)
They all roll downtown where the water goes
(Oh, oh)
Singing nobody knows what the weather knows
You had a good long run like the river man done
Try to wear it like a hard livin' son of a gun
I guess nobody told you how it goes
Who knows what the river man knows?

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile & Elton John]
All the weekend warriors touching down
Leaving a black stain on the sacred ground (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ready and willing to feel wild
Even the traffic sings in tune and perfect time

[Chorus: Elton John & Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Elton John]
(Oh, oh)
They all roll downtown where the water goes
(Oh, oh)
Singing nobody knows what the weather knows
You had a good long run like the river man done
Try to wear it like a hard livin' son of a gun
I guess nobody told you how it goes
Who knows what the river man knows? (Knows, knows, knows, knows)
Knows
Who knows what the river man knows
Knows, knows, knows, knows
