The Riverbank - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)
Frightened by the tone of a 'phone in the dead of night
Then staring into darkness and praying 'til the morning light
The price already paid a son gone to the grave
Now the sorrowful parade to the riverbank
Must be half the county come down to the riverbank
High school is closed same for the local police
Shall we tearfully embrace shall we sing amazing grace
Will the shallow waters bring us peace
Army dude only son nowhere to run no-one to turn to
He turns to the gun
It's a cross it's a stone it's a fragment of bone
It's a long walk home a long walk home
Gonna be a long walk home from the riverbank
Is there any reason why the black pine should not weep
Is there a woman or a man
Who wouldn't understand why he could not sleep
And the nightmares when they came like poison to the brain
Reminded him again life is cheap
Army dude only son nowhere to run no-one to turn to
He turns to the gun
It's a cross it's a stone it's a fragment of bone
It's a long walk home a long walk home
Gonna be a long walk home from the riverbank
Army dude's mama at the edge of the river
Limp as a rag american flag in her arms
Then a triangle of light kissed the red and blue and white
Along the riverbank past the dealerships and farms
Along the riverbank past the dealerships and farms
