Hola amigos,
This week`s topic made me think of my childhood and the first thing I rcame to my mind was the river which runs by my home town. I decided to play a song by Styx called "Boat on the River" which tells about those childhood memories of " the river that " touches my life like the waves on the sand"
This song was popular in several European countries, becoming a top-five hit on the German, Austrian and Swiss charts (reaching number one on in Swizerland)
LYRICS
Take me back to my boat on the river
I need to go down, I need to come down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I won't cry out any more
[Verse 1]
Time stands still as I gaze in her waters
She eases me down, touching me gently
With the waters that flow past my boat on the river
So I don't cry out anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the river is wise
The river, it touches my life like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to Tranquility Base
Where the frown on my face disappears
[Chorus]
Take me down to my boat on the river
And I won't cry out anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the river is deep
The river, it touches my life like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to Tranquility Base
Where the frown on my face disappears, whoa
[Chorus]
Take me down to my boat on the river
I need to go down, won't you let me go down
