Down by the river, by the poles Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you won't see any rising sun Down to the river we will run
When by the water we drink to the trees Look at the stones on the riverbed
I can tell from your eyes You've never been by the riverside
Down by the water, the riverbed Somebody calls you, somebody says
Swim with the current and float away Down by the river every day
Oh, my God, I see how everything is strong And the river deep
I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside
When that old river runs past your eyes To watch out the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near The river will be your eyes and ears
I'll walk to the borders alone Fall in the water just like a stone
Chill to the merriment and bones Why do I go your way alone?
Oh, my God, I see how everything is strong And the river deep
I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside
Oh, my God, I see how everything is strong And the river deep
I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside
Oh, my God, I see how everything is strong And the river deep
Down by the riverside
