Down by the river by the boats 

Where everybody goes to be alone 

Where you wont see any rising sun 

Down to the river we will run 



When by the water we drink to the dregs 

Look at the stones on the riverbed 

I can tell from your eyes 

You've never been by the riverside 



Down by the water the riverbed 

Somebody calls you somebody says 

swim with the current and float away 

Down by the river every day 



Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep 

And I don't know why I go the way 

Down by the riverside 



When that old river runs past your eyes 

To wash off the dirt on the riverside 

Go to the water so very near 

The river will be your eyes and ears 



I walk to the borders on my own 

To fall in the water just like a stone 

Chilled to the marrow in them bones 

Why do I go here all alone 



Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep 

And I don't know why I go the way 

Down by the riverside (x2)

(ohh ooh I)x3

down by the riverside (X2)
