Take me down to the river Where I would not go before Through the trees and the rushes To a place we both know And I'm feeling much younger As I kneel on the ground Dip my toe in the water Of the river where I watched you drown Oh, when the river ran dry that next year I could not find your body Now I'm standing here, ready at last To dive down and reach you again And I long to be with you Now these cold nights have come Oh, I go down to the river But the river will stop for no one Though I ask it, it keeps flowing on When I ask it, it tells me you're gone
