The River

lyrics

THE RIVER

Came to town a day ago, not sure just what to look for
As I walk these streets they take me far away
To a time and place where life meant so much more

Far back in the memories, your words they echo again
Locked up in a corner of my heart
Is the message that they send

(Chorus)
If you take me down to the river
You better know it's forever
If you take me down to the river
This time it's forever

(2nd Verse)
I think of all that's happened here and now it's all just water color gray
How much does a man have to cry
Before the pain washes away?
Cause I hear her saying…

Chorus
If you take me down to the river
You better know it's forever
Don't steal my heart and run away
This time… it's forever

(Bridge)
I stand here on the banks of the past we left behind
The water runs strong and deep, like a love that comes to mind
As I hear the sounds of this special place it’s your words that linger on
And though you’re not here with me…I promise to you…before this moment is gone…

(Chorus)
If you take me down to the river
You better know it's forever
Don’t steal my heart and run away
This time…it's forever
