Lyrics
Down to the River
(A – mellow)
I’m going down to the River to kneel upon those muddy shores.
Going down to the River, confessing on those muddy shores.
You say you won’t go down to the River,
but don’t make it come to you.
(B-medium)
I see that you’re stubborn and know that you got your pride.
You want that recognition and ancient demons off your mind.
I gotta tell you brother, that you’re just wasting time.
(A – mellow)
That’s why I’m down at the the River, to kneel upon those muddy shores.
That’s why I’m down to the River, confessing on those muddy shores.
You say you won’t go down to the River,
but don’t make it come to you.
(B-heavy)
We all got our worries, heavy things on our minds.
Pasts that precede us and futures that are hard to find.
So let me honest – I’m just a little tired.
(A – mellow)
That’s why I’m down at the the River, to kneel upon those muddy shores.
That’s why I’m down to the River, confessing on those muddy shores.
You say you won’t go down to the River,
but don’t make it come to you.
(B-heavy)
Your heart’s feeling burdened, your path’s feeling ill-defined.
Your options are stunted, your quotas falling far behind.
But no need to worry, the River brings peace of mind.
(B-heavy)
Gtr solo
(B-very sparse)
You hear something coming, it chills you down to your core.
There’s no more confusions, no delusions any more.
‘Cause I know that you know who’s knocking at your door.
(A – heavy)
That’s why I’m down at the River, to kneel upon those muddy shores.
That’s why I’m down at the River, confessing on those muddy shores.
You say you won’t go down to the River,
but don’t make it come to you.
