Down to the River

[Verse 1] I've been walking too long, two long years Shake my head and wonder why I cried those tears Soles of my feet are burning, Lord And my eyes, they cannot see Would you tell me why it is that these truths terrify me Yes, they terrify me [Chorus] Take me down to the river Down to the river then Sweet love got to walk beside me, hold my hand Down to the river Down to the river, Lord Sweet love got to hold me under, save my soul Yes, you've got to save my soul You got to save my soul now Save my soul Yes, you got to save my soul now [Verse 2] Spent most of my life confused and in pain Things I cannot even begin to explain It takes more than a glass of cool water To douse this flame Yes, with my peace and my cup And my eyes turned up to heaven I'm just a beggar in the rain Yes, a beggar in the rain, now [Chorus] Down to the river Down to the river then Sweet love got to walk beside me, hold my hand Down to the river Down to the river, Lord Sweet love got to hold me under, save my soul Save my soul Save my soul You got to save my soul Save, save it, oh Save my soul Save my soul, oh Yeah yeah Ah, yeah yeah
