Down by the river by the boats
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you wont see any rising sun
Down to the river we will runWhen by the water we drink to the dregs
Look at the stones on the riverbed
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riversideDown by the water the riverbed
Somebody calls you somebody says
swim with the current and float away
Down by the river every dayOh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riversideWhen that old river runs past your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near
The river will be your eyes and earsI walk to the borders on my own
Fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all aloneOh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside (x2)
