Colorado passes by like writing on a wall
Headed eastward down to New Orleans
Dipping into Texas as the stars are fading out
And there's still a lot of country in between
When I left California I was 29 years old
And the world just spun me around
Now I watched Louisiana scroll across the window pane
And I'm facing the direction I am bound
Cover up the sun, let the river run
Make that water run and wash me away
Me, Clifton and the king of cats are sat down in the road
Pedro said, boys, we're three of kind
He said I sat with river rats and I hung my hat with diplomats
Had four brothers once upon a time
He said they tore the country far away from the Rio Grande
And the road just wore them down
So they bought a house beside a lake, outside of New Orleans
And they stared in the direction of the escalating sound
Cover up the gun, let the river run
Take this good man's son and wash him away
Sister indeciperable is talking to a wall
Back in New York city, she's a queen
Well, resurrector Genuflect, she saves the one she can't protect
Keeps the chapel pressed, if not Sistine
She drinks Absinthe mixed with Kerosene to keep herself upright
But the word still breaks her down
Listen, if you can't keep your shit together
When God is on your side
What chance do you have when he's not around?
Cover up the sun, make that water run
Let the river come and take me away
People of the Mardi Gras, in their Tuesday best
Waiting for the South to rise again
Children of Geronimo grieving for the West
Feather dressed and marching their refrain
All in the dark of Armstrong Park the marching bands ascend
But they never make a sound, just a quiet prayer for communist square
The silent congregation there, the night to rest our eyes in
We just look to the horizon for a change
Cover up the sun, let the river run
I pray the water come and wash me away
Carved in the sky, I'll make that diesel fly
Come on, just lay me down to die and just take me away
Yeah
Counting Crows is an American rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1989. Their sound is characterized by catchy melodies, introspective lyrics, and a strong folk-rock influence. After years of performing in clubs, the band signed with Geffen Records in 1993. Their debut album, *August and Everything After*, became an international success thanks to the single «Mr. Jones», achieving multi-platinum status. The success brought intense pressure on frontman Adam Duritz, who suffered a nervous breakdown. This difficult period is reflected in their subsequent album, *Recovering the Satellites* (1996). Over the years, Counting Crows have continued to release successful albums such as *This Desert Life* (2002) and *Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings* (2008), maintaining a loyal following thanks to their authentic music and Duritz's charisma. Some of the band's most representative songs include «Round Here», «A Long December» and «Anna Begins».
