River - Ellis Paul

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Paul Plissey
[00:24.00]While hollywood sleeps,
[00:26.81]A young man is dying
[00:29.37]On the concrete of a sidewalk downtown.
[00:35.06]As his brother weeps,
[00:38.06]The sirens come calling
[00:40.85]And the medics feed him lines on the ground.
[00:46.44]And they say he's too young to surrender
[00:51.75]And they cry out, and they call him by name.
[00:57.37]Their graffiti tells how he's remembered.
[01:03.19]Still, the River runs on just the same.
[01:07.62]Run River, run.
[01:09.63]
[01:20.75]The director speaks,
[01:23.45]The cameras are rolling.
[01:26.34]A boy steps between the backdrop and the lights.
[01:31.70]And he's stealing the scene,
[01:34.82]With the crew as his witness.
[01:37.65]The whole industry will judge him come academy night
[01:43.24]Now they say he's too young to surrender
[01:48.64]And they cry out, and they call him by name
[01:54.21]Their graffiti tells how he's remembered
[01:59.95]Still, the River runs on just the same
[02:04.30]Run River, run...
[02:06.52]
[02:17.15]Now the tabloids will say what they want to,
[02:22.45]And the cameras will re-enact his fall.
[02:28.25]His legacy speaks, but no one can hear it,
[02:33.77]'cause his death has made critics of us all.
[02:39.10]
[03:02.95]His legacy speaks, in the canister rooms,
[03:08.49]In the archives of great studio halls.
[03:14.09]And there it will keep like a secret that's whispered between lovers
[03:21.47]And those who never knew him at all.
[03:25.63]And they say he's too young to surrender
[03:31.10]And they cry out, and they call him by name
[03:36.65]Their graffiti tells how he's remembered
[03:42.00]Still, the River runs on just the same
[03:46.90]Run River, run...
