Goin' down to the river Its growing hotter each day My dear my dear walk beside me And hear the words I will say Every time I've fallen I stand upon strengthened knees Blessed be the ones that got me here And many more will follow The days their passing with each sunrise My dear is right here with me Long live the troubled and the thinkers And long live every mans needs Every time I have fallen Stronger breaths I do breathe A tired happy soul I will come here once more And many more will follow My feet they're tired from the walking My breaths are shallow in between The dogs are howling in the moonlight And I rest my bones in the trees My dear my dear I have fallen Daylight is over A tired happy soul I have come here once more And many more will follow Said many more will follow Said many more will follow
