The River

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

There's a heart here, cast in stone
And there's a past dear I must atone
Oh, there were moments I thrust away
Now there's a keeper I must pay

So here's the scythe now, and here's the soil
And here's the seed, dear, that I must toil
To heal the orchard from the cold dead earth

Well I'm sorry, love, for all I have undone
And I'm sorry, dear, for what I have become

Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go

Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
Down

Oh these weathered old hands of mine
They have grown weary over time
This aging heart love, it tremors slow
But dear it's beating, still stands to grow

And oh the years dear, they'll be harsh and long
But I will go out and sing your songs
Over the mountains, over hills and the streams

Oh I'm sorry, love, for all I cannot change
For the moments past I'll gladly take the blame

Oh, you've got my heart wrapped up you know
I love you from the start, so go
Light up the dark, my darling, go
Find a better start, dear

Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
To the river we'll go to the river we'll go

Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go

Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
Down to the river we'll go to the river we'll go
