Down By the River

Take me down to the river

Where I would not go before

Through the trees and the rushes

To the place we both knowAnd I'm feeling much younger

As I kneel on the ground

Dip my toe in the water of the river

Where I watched you drownOh when the river ran dry that next year

I could not find your body

Now I'm standing here ready at last

To dive down and reach you againAnd I long to be with you

Now these cold nights have come

Oh I go down to the river

But the river will stop for no one
