[English]

Heey

I heard you want to leave this place

But we grew up in this old town

Just put it all behind

Remember you and I

Would always find somewhere to hide

When we were kids so we could see and hear the water run

The river's gonna cry when you're gone

Where will you go

Won't you miss the ones you know

I'll be here hanging on, waiting for your call

Seems like time

As a wave passing by

And leave a mark in our minds to turn the memories

The river's gonna cry when you're

Gone, gone, gone, gone

River's gonna cry when you're

Gone, gone, gone, gone

River's gonna cry when you're

Gone, gone, gone, gone

River's gonna cry when you are

River's gonna cry when you're

River's gonna cry when you're gone

Heey

I was hoping you would stay

But I've always known, you would go to find your own way

I still see

When we climbed up in those trees

Twelve years old, feel the wind and watch the river run

And the sun would always shine

When we sat there, you and I

The river's gonna cry when you're

Gone, gone, gone, gone

River's gonna cry when you're

Gone, gone, gone, gone

River's gonna cry when you're

Gone, gone, gone, gone

River's gonna cry when you are

River's gonna cry when you're

River's gonna cry when you're gone

It's gonna cry, it's gonna cry

River's gonna cry when you're gone

It's gonna cry, it's gonna cry

Heey

I heard you want to leave this place

But we grew up in this old town

Just leave it all behind

The river's gonna cry when you're gone
