Lyrics

6) Down By The River
m.litton

Goin’ down…yeah…down by the river…hey…
Goin’ down, down there by the river, far from the road, deep into the night
Goin’ down, down there by the river, slip into the shadows where dreams come alive
Down by the river, yeah, down by the river…

See the moon shine upon the water…yellow, yellow moon on the deep dark wate
And all them stars way out in the distance, burnin’ from a time before we ever came
Down by the river, yeah, down by the river…

Come dance, dance down by the river, come ‘n dance with the wind thru the trees
Come dance, dance down by the river… I’m calling you, girl, won’t you come to me
Down by the river, yeah… Down by the river! Yeah!

See the mushrooms growin’ in the mud…old trees root into the earth
Feel the night close upon your skin, girl, feel it, feel it, feel the feeling givin’ birth
Down by the river, yeah, down by the river…

There’s a ripple, ripple in the current…an old snake crawlin’ through the grass
And there’s a time, it’s surly comin’, girl, we each ‘n all gonna breathe our last
Down by the river, yeah, down by the river

So come ‘n dance with me in the changin’ wind, child of the thunder, child of the rain
Come light that fire ‘n burn it down to ashes, let your soul rise up in the flames
Down by the river, yeah… Down by the river! Yeah!

Hear those drums… O Lord, hear those drums…yeah…
Hear those drums drummin’ by the river, drummin’ from a time before we ever came
Feel those drums drummin’ to your feet, girl, feel those drums drummin’ to your thighs
Feel those drums, gonna make your hips shake… Hear your heart drummin’, bring your lips to mine
Down by the river, yeah… Down by the river! Yeah!
