Down by the River Songtext
Take me down to the river
Where I would not go before
Through the trees and the rushes
To a place we both know
And I′m feeling much younger
As I kneel on the ground
Dip my toe in the water
Of the river where I watched you drown
Oh, 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 again
And 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
Though I ask it, it keeps flowing on
When I ask it, it tells me you′re gone
Where I would not go before
Through the trees and the rushes
To a place we both know
And I′m feeling much younger
As I kneel on the ground
Dip my toe in the water
Of the river where I watched you drown
Oh, 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 again
And 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
Though I ask it, it keeps flowing on
When I ask it, it tells me you′re gone
