Down By The River

Down by the river, beyond the moutains

Through the winters, I’ll find your soul

When the sky turns yellow

And the rain as warm as blood

Mingle with the wind

I hear the sound of your voice

Down by the river, far ahead of me

There is a better world, I will reach some day

There is no desert and no ocean to cross

Just a green meadow in the hot summer sun

River, oh river

Your water’s flow so slowly

River, oh river

It’s our lives that go with you

 

Down by the river

I’s where the sky has created birdsongs

Somewhere between clouds and wind.

Heaven can wait a little longer

But the time will come when I’ll hear the sound of your voice

The time will come when I’ll hear the sound of your voice.
