Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Down by the river, by the boat

Where everybody goes to be alone

Where you won't see any rising sun

Down to the river, we will run

[Verse 2]

When 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 riverside

[Verse 3]

Down by the water, the riverbed

Somebody calls you, somebody says

Swim with the current and float away

Down by the river everyday

[Verse 4]

Oh, 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

[Verse 5]

When 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 ears

[Verse 6]

I 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 alone?

[Verse 7]

Oh, 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

[Verse 8]

Oh, 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

[Verse 9]

Oh, oh, I

Oh, oh, I

Oh, oh, I

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside
