The sense of injustice was too much to bear
Made my head spin like a carousel doing its rounds at the county fair
Travellers gather at a car boot sale picking up their morning bread
You left me empty handed, was it summit I said
Come on down, down to the river we go
Come on down, down to the river we flow
I thought we had it all we wouldn't lost it till the end of days
But the future did just what it does I guess it was the only way
My oldest friend you're digging up the dirt your skull is a flower bed
It breaks my heart to think of how you left me where the rivers met
Come one down, down to the river we go
Come on down, down to the river we flow
Come one down, down to the river we go
I've been waiting for you to come on home
The night rolled in you were gone, the moon was burning red
I wish I'd said I love you and it's something I'll regret
But I'll bless the days we spent together living like we'd never die
Now all I got is a memory and that's all you can ask from life
Come one down, down to the river we go
Come on down, down to the river we flow
Come one down, down to the river we go
I've been waiting for you to come on home
