Rivers Keep the Names We Forget（版本 2）

Verse

Dad's old axe leaning on the porch rail

Paper bag full of peaches left by the field

I found your name carved into the bark in June

The summer I turned fifteen, you were sixteen

Racing down Main Street in a borrowed pickup truck

Your radio was tuned to the same old station

Saying something about forever that I'd never miss yet

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm older than we ever thought we'd be

Standing right where the river used to run through me

Something's stirring underneath all this land

I think it's coming back, I think it understands

Chorus

Rivers keep the names we forget

Carve them in the current before they're gone

Every stone I throw is a door I left behind

I'm swimming back to where I started, not alone

Verse 2

Twenty years and the old barn still stands

Painted a different color but it's still your hand

My kids ride past on their own bikes now

Wave at me from the window of what used to be our town

You moved to Nashville, chasing neon lights

Said something about
