Down to the River We Go

Behold this golden wind...

in fits and starts it speaks of reckonings.

Shadows fall...twilight wanes...

voices unknown keep calling out our names...

As we go down down down....down to the river below.

We go down down down...into the teeth of the undertow.

Some say of rain, when it goes to falling,

well it's just angels weeping up in heaven.

Their sacred tears can fall a thousand years

and amount to nothing.

They just don't mean nothing.

Them tears go down down down...

into the river they flow.

Yes, they go down down down...

spinning round and round...

into the teeth of the undertow.

Down to the river we go,

we go down into the undertow.

We go down, see baby you and me

so secretly...

we both wanna drown in the river below

we go down into the undertow,

down, see baby you and me so secretly

we both wanna drown,

we both wanna drown,

we just wanna drown.

Our two hearts hungry to fly,

are but broken winged birds just glaring at the sky.

Our hollow bones, how they ache and moan,

begging to soar above this earth, to rise up on high.

But from all we have seen,

these sorrows we have known,

it ain't no secretly baby, this world is not our home.

No, all we can claim past this flesh and this bone

is what comfort we take, down here on our own...

it's this comfort we take down here on our own.

So darling take my hand....

let us surrender to the sound.

Hear the river softly whispering

how it'll carry us on down?

Fear not this fleeting pain,

as the shadows gently fall..

Just wade into this darkness,

close your eyes and heed the call...

Down to the river we go,

we go down into the undertow...

down, see baby you and me so secretly...

we both wanna drown...

in the river below we go down

into the undertow down, down,

see baby you and me so secretly

we both wanna drown,

we both wanna drown,

we both wanna drown,

we just wanna drown.
