Call into the night To the rhythm in the sky I'll be dancing in the dark Down by the riverside Bounded by the moon I'll be wading in the blues Won't you lay your harvest down Right down by the riverside? On the edges of the banks (edges of the banks) I found a hiding place Oh, water tell me what you know On the edges of the pain (edges of the pain) I wash it all away and I cry out to the tide Down by the riverside ♪ Cast away my heavy load Lay it down by the willow grove Muddy water heals my soul Down by the riverside Gonna rest my burdens down Fixed upon that starry crown Angels singing all around Down by the riverside On the edges of the banks (edges of the banks) I found a hiding place Oh, water tell me what you know On the edges of the pain (edges of the pain) I wash it all away and I cry out to the tide Down by the riverside, oh, oh ♪ Call into the night To the rhythm in the sky We'll be dancing in the dark Down by the riverside On the edges of the banks (edges of the banks) I found a hiding place Oh, water tell me what you know? On the edges of the pain (edges of the pain) I wash it all away and I cry out to the tide Down by the riverside I find a peace of mind Down by the riverside I made it out alive Down by the riverside
