[offset:0]
[00:15.99] Spit into the center of your hometown,
[00:19.30] there are leaves in the street,
[00:21.06] and there are friends around you now.
[00:23.90] All the days of your life in a line.
[00:28.70]
[00:31.39] All the way it seemed by 89
[00:35.64]
[00:38.96] But it's not all right.
[00:41.27] It's not even close to all right.
[00:45.02] Down a hall in your house,
[00:46.96] down a road in December
[00:48.64] （Down, down, down the deep river,
[00:50.02] down, down, down the deep river）
[00:52.45] Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
[00:56.08] （Down, down, down the deep river,
[00:57.58] down, down, down the deep river）
[00:59.83] We lie awake at night in a tent and I say,
[01:03.01] Tell me about your uncle and his friend
[01:05.11] because they seem like very bad men.
[01:08.98] Well we oughtta keep away from them.
[01:13.70]
[01:14.63] Bend in the road back there,
[01:16.57] we saw the place to go.
[01:18.88]
[01:22.38] Tell me 'bout the greatest
[01:24.11] show or the greatest movie you know
[01:27.55] or the greatest song
[01:28.18] that you taped from off the radio.
[01:31.25] Play it again and again it
[01:32.49] cuts off at the ending though.
[01:35.74]
[01:36.68] Tell me I'm always gonna
[01:38.18] be your best friend.
[01:39.60] Now you said it one time,
[01:41.12] why don't you say it again?
[01:43.18] All the way down the line
[01:45.06] to where the telephone ends
[01:46.88] come on and shout it on down the wire.
[01:49.68]
[01:52.87] And it's not all right.
[01:55.18] It's not even close to all right.
[01:58.68] Down a hall in your house,
[02:00.51] down a road in December
[02:02.31] （Down, down, down the deep river,
[02:04.12] down, down, down the deep river）
[02:06.18] Down a hall in your house,
[02:07.87] down a road in December
[02:09.74] （Down, down, down the deep river,
[02:11.37] down, down, down the deep river）
[02:13.56] And as the rescue party,
[02:15.76] the volunteer team ah,
[02:17.53] they're just kids of eighteen,
[02:19.15] and it's the worst thing
[02:20.27] they've seen they're standing all around that tree,
[02:22.90] and I'm so sorry that I can't stop crying.
[02:26.55]
[02:28.24] （Oh, I know.）
[02:29.68]
[02:43.62] Shivering from the late fall cold,
[02:46.43] I felt like a solid ghost.
[02:49.05] I ran and then I couldn't slow.
[02:52.24] My father found me though,
[02:54.36] my father took me home.
[02:56.61]
[02:57.80] He said, Oh, son,
[02:58.80] I saw you get knocked down,
[03:01.12] and I ran out I bet your head was spinning.
[03:05.19] With that bright pain you stunned,
[03:07.31] when you've only just begun
[03:09.06] to be only just beginning.
[03:10.81]
[03:12.57] Tossed in the viper pit,
[03:14.45] all those feelings and fears,
[03:16.21] and all that difficult shit in
[03:18.24] all those tender years.
[03:20.05] There was something in the air;
[03:21.99] something gathered in the air.
[03:23.86] Something singing in the wind.
[03:26.36] I'll be your fighter and you'll be my mirror.
[03:30.18] And you'll be all right because I'll be right here.
[03:34.30] Oh kid, now I'm not going anywhere.
[03:36.61] I swear I'll try to not be going anywhere.
[03:40.86]
[03:43.50] Though it's not all right. It is so far from all right.
[03:48.57] We'll make it into a choice somehow.
[03:51.52] I don't know, but you'll have a choice somehow.
[03:56.90] Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
[04:00.79] （Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river）
[04:04.28] We can never go back; we can only remember
[04:08.16] （Down, down, down the deep river,
[04:09.72] down, down, down the deep river）
[04:13.26]
[04:26.58] Maybe they told you 'bout the summer sky,
[04:29.17] maybe they said there's a great gold spirit in the summer sky
[04:34.42] or all your friends （all your best, best friends）
[04:37.50] are gonna gather around your bed at night.
[04:42.63] Well that'll make it all right
[04:44.25] because it is still so far from all right.
[04:47.63]
[04:51.19] Oh, kid, I know.
[04:54.07]
[04:55.88] Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
[04:59.56] （Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river）
[05:03.46] Up the stairs four flights, son; can you feel my heart shiver?
[05:07.24] （Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river）
[05:10.79] Wakin' in the dawn with that dream getting dimmer and dimmer.
[05:14.97]
[05:16.68] I said, Are we going down the deep river? Down the deep river?
[05:25.38]
[05:31.14] Why don't you say you still see it, say you remember? Are we going down?
[05:44.85]
[05:47.98] Are we going down the deep river? Because I know it's scary, baby.
