(don henley/stan lynch/jai winding/frank simes)The rains have come early, they sayWe're all gonna wash awayWell, that's all right with meIf heaven's torrent can wash cleanThe arrogance that lies unseenIn the damage done since we have goneWhere we ought not to beGoodbye to a riverGoodbye to a riverSo longLakes and levees, dams and locksThey put that river in a boxIt was running wildAnd men must have controlWe live our lives in starts and fitsWe lose our wonder bit by bitWe condescend and in the endWe lose our very soulsGoodbye to a riverGoodbye to a riverSo longThe dirty water washes downPoisoning the common groundTaking sins of farm and townAnd bearing them awayThe captains of industryAnd their tools on the hillThey're killing everything divineWhat will I tell this child of mine(solo)I make a church out of wordsAs the years dull my sensesAnd I try to hold on to the world that I knewI struggle to cross generational fencesAnd the beauty that still remains¡ºI can touch it through youGoodbye to a riverGoodbye to a riverSo longGoodbye to a riverGoodbye to a riverSo longGoodbye to a riverGoodbye to a riverSo longGoodbye to a riverGoodbye to a riverRoll on
