The River Songtext
von The Family Crest

There′s a heart here, cast in stone
And there's a past, dear, I must atone
Oh, there were moments I thrust away
Now there′s a keeper that I must pay

So, here's the sight now, and here's the soil
And here′s the sea dear, that I must toil
To heal the orchard from the cold, dead earth

Well I′m sorry, love, for all I haven't done
And I′m sorry, dear, for what I have become

Down to the river we'll go, to the river we′ll go
Down to the river we'll go, to the river we′ll go
Down to the river we'll go, to the river we'll go
Down to the river we′ll go, to the river we′ll go
Down to the river we'll go, to the river we′ll go
Down to the river we'll go, to the river we′ll go
Down to the rive we'll go, to the river we′ll go down


Oh these weathered, old hands of mine
They have grown weary over time
That aging heart love beats ever slow
But dear it's beating still stands to grow

And oh, these years, dear, they'll be hard and long
But I will go out and sing your songs
Over the murky vales, hills and the streams

Oh, I′m sorry love for all I cannot change
For the moments past I′ll gladly take the blame

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You've got my heart wrapped up, you know
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I loved you from the start, so go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Out of the dark, my darling
Go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Find the better start, dear


Down to the river we′ll go, to the river we'll go
Down to the river we′ll go, to the river we'll go
To the river we′ll go, to the river we'll go
Down to the river we'll go, to the river we′ll go
Down to the river we′ll go, to the river we'll go
Down to the river we′ll go, to the river we'll go
Down to the river we′ll go, to the river we'll go
Down to the river we′ll go, to the river we'll go
