    This is a lyrical painting by the man the myth the Legend. Sitting at the feet of the master. The greatest songwriter of our time.

    I have loved his lyrics for over 30 years. He is an American Treasure.

    Oh the river knows your name
    And your tears falling like the rain
    All around you suffering and pain
    Oh the river knows your name
    And the river hears you cry
    As the lightning cracks the open sky
    As your Momma sings a lullaby
    Oh the river she knows why
    Let the river wash you down
    Beneath the surface
    With a rushing sound
    Like a freight train passing through a town
    Let the river wash you down
    Let the river take away
    All the words
    That you and I could never say
    In the silence Darling let us pray
    Let the river take it all away
    Oh the river knows your name
    From the Brazos to the Wabash
    To the Seine
    No two journeys
    Are ever quite the same
    But the river knows your name
    Oh the river knows your name

    Growing up in Morrisville, Pa. along the the banks of the Delaware River my whole life (49 yrs) with a freight train running through the center of town, i think of my two older brothers who both decided to end their lives (one in 1982 & the other in 2010) very close to the banks of the river. I listen to this song & think of them every time. So, to Michael & Tommy, i dedicate this song to both of you, & pray that anyone who is suffering with a disorder such as depression, anxiety, etc. is able to get the help they need to deal with their pain.

    Beautiful song - so authentic and forlorn. It comes and passes like a freight train through a lonely town.

    We can all love "Have a little Faith" and all, and I really do... But then to see John here playing this gorgeous song, as brittle and vulnerable and touching as it is...
    Can people please see musical talent for what it is? Ears & eyes wide open?
    I am inclined to say "Thanks, John!" as if you're doing us a favor. Yet it is obvious that you are doing yourself the Greatest of Favors by making such wonderful music, and surprise & transcend yourself with it. Like any Great Artist does; and must do.
    Still: I wanna thank you Sir.

    I discovered this on one of my pandora stations. Usually pandora puts a lot of bad songs as fluff for a station but i’m happy i discovered this song.

    I live by the Ternoise river, just here in France, the river knows my sins, my bad behavior, my love of all the woman in the world, she knows my heart is a big place, she knows my love of God, she knows my name, Johnny.

    This is the first song I ever really learned on guitar. Still, it sound like something really lush coming from John Hyatt. So, I'm still learning.

    I love this song and John's music but his voice here is a bit weak. I think I've seen a better version on YT. I think I'll look for it now.

    Ryan Adams totally stole this song and made "I love you but I don't know what to say" which isn't a bad thing.. Just saying I noticed the similarity.. Anyone else agree?
