The song This River Is Wild is performed by The Killers in the album named Live from the Royal Albert Hall in the year 2009 .



Leaves are falling down
On the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound
So then I think you better go ahead

But you always hold your head up high
'Cause it's a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for pa*sing through
But it ain't nothing new
Now go and show them that the world stayed round
But it's a long, long, long way down

You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Then watch it turn
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go

Or should I just get along with myself?
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky

This river is wild
This river is wild

Run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Then watch it turn
But shake a little
Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk
I shake a little
Sometimes I hate the line I walk
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go

Or should I just get along with myself?
I never did get along with everybody else
Ive been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky

Because this river is wild
Godspeed you boy
This river is wild

Now Adam's taking bombs
And he's stuck on his mom
Because that bitch keeps trying to make him pray
He's with the hippie in the park coming over the dark
Just trying to get some of that little girl play

You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Then watch it turn
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go

Or should I get along with myself?
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky

And pain is hell in me tonight
Because this river is wild
Godspeed you boy
This river is wild
This river is wild
Godspeed you boy
This river is wild

Now the cards are everywhere
Face in dust, the fairground
I don't think I ever seen so many headlights
But there's something pulling me
The circus and the crew
Well they're just pa*sing through
Making sure that merry still goes round
But it's a long, long, long way down
