The River Knows Your Name

Gorges du Tarn, France.

September 2011.

Oh the river knows your name

And your tears falling like the rain

All around you suffering and pain

Oh the river knows your name

And the river hears you cry

As the lightning cracks the open sky

As your momma sings a lullaby

Oh the river she knows why

Let the river wash you down

Beneath the surface with a rushing sound

Like a freight train passing through a town

Let the river wash you down

Let the river take away

All the words you and I could never say

In the silence darling let us pray

Let the river take it all away

(John Hiatt - The River Knows Your Name)

The song above has always been one of my favourite songs. I just love the melancholy, the wonderful guitar, and Hiatt's voice.

Enjoy your evening.
