Lennie Gallant Which Way Does The River Run Lyrics

He came knocking on her window pane
He said "Let me in, it's going to rain"
They kissed and they watched the storm
And they held each other to keep warm
They'd just met that day
He played guitar near the old cafe
She said she liked the Dylan song
The one about movin' on

All the way to Montreal,
When it got wet the car would stall
He spoke a little high school French
She laughed and she said it made no sense
They went a little out of the way
She had a friend out in Gaspe
They slept there, on her hardwood floor
And they make love some more

Which way does the river run
Through this town
Which way does the wind blow
When the sun goes down
Which way does the river run
Through this town
Which way does the wind blow
When the sun goes down

Hard to see into the sun
When they got back on the 401 Seems every town had a tale to tell
And every street had dreams to sell
She talked about her history
Said she was one quarter Cree
Her mother wouldn't let her know
But her father said that it was so

Which way does the river run
Through this town
Which way does the wind blow
When the sun goes down
Which way does the river run
Through this town
Which way does the wind blow
When the sun goes down

She said baby it would be the most
If we make it out to the western coast
We could dive in the ocean there
Then just turn around and head back here
'Cause there's no place for you and me
But I love this country
The gas gauge was getting low
When they left Ontario

Which way does the river run
Through this town
Which way does the wind blow
When the sun goes down
