《Long River》是加拿大民謠歌手Gordon Lightfoot於20世紀60年代創作並演唱的歌曲，最初收錄於其個人專輯《Lightfoot》，後亦被《The United Artists Collection》等合輯收錄。該作品被Bonnie Dobson等多位歌手翻唱，衍生版本見於《La Chambre》《Alfie (Explicit)》等專輯，歌詞與創作署名權始終歸屬Lightfoot。
歌曲以窗外長河的流動為隱喻核心，串聯晝夜時序與情感獨白，通過山林、飛鳥等自然意象構建靜謐而孤寂的田園場景，映射對情感真實性的叩問。重複出現的核心歌詞“Where the long river flows, It flows by my window”形成循環結構，配合淺白詩意的語言風格，強化了追憶過往與嚮往純粹情感的沉思基調。

歌曲歌詞
Where the long river flows
It flows by my window
Where the tall timber grows
It grows 'round my door
Where the mountains meet the sky
And the white clouds fly
Where the long river flows
By my window
There's a tiny bird that calls
And he calls by my window
There's a lonely tear that falls
And it falls 'round my door
But when the sun is high
There's no time to cry
Where the long river flows
By my window
Now if only you could see
The closin' of the day
If only you could be
Where the dawn breaks away
By the white cascade
Oh down in the glade
Where the long river flows
By my window
Well when this land was made
It was made full of wonder
But one woman's love
I can't understand
And i'd give it all to you
If her love were true
Where the long river flows
By my window
Where the long river flows
By my window
