Take me down to the river
Where I would not go before
Through the trees and the rushes
To the 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
