Silver River Turning - Jethro Tull

Silver River Turning - Jethro Tull
Written by：Ian Anderson
I walked down
That boulder road
Through a child's eye saw places where I used to go
Where I crawled barefoot
With a fishing pole
To the rock that overlooked that steelhead hole
But it's true
Silver river turning blue
It was a small town
In a smaller world
Just a black dot on an old map with it's edges curled
Where they built their industries
On the edge of town
Leaching chemicals from underground
Now it's true
That silver river turning blue
Just got a late reaction
Face reality and stare it down
Sometimes it's harder hanging on
Much easier to look around
But I need that job
Well this place no city
We're just small players here
Like a million other heroes drinking poor man's beer
We know what's right
We're just living it wrong
But there's no easy answer in the green man's song
What do you do
When your river's turning blue
I walked down
That boulder road
Through a child's eye saw places where I used to go
Where I crawled barefoot
With a fishing pole
To the rock that overlooked that steelhead hole
But it's true
Silver river turning blue
Just got a late reaction
Face reality and stare it down
Sometimes it's harder hanging on
Much easier to look around
But I need that job
