Letra de The river

Down by the river
That´s where I broke down and cried
Down by the river
That´s where I lay down and died.

I´m going down to the river
For as long as I can stand
Mama told me "Son"
as she took a hold of my hand.

"Water runs so deep,
Deep as all my pain"
Down by the river, honey
Lord, can I be saved?.

I said down by the river
That´s where I broke down and cried
I said down by the river
That´s where I broke down and cried.

I said down by the river
Heartaches soaked in wine
I´m just lookin´ for redemption
For that wanderin´ soul of mine.

Pull me to my knees
As I drown in the pouring rain
Down by the river, honey
I still see your face.

Sometimes around midnight
They´d come knocking at my door
I said sometimes around midnight
Hell hounds found what they´re looking for.

Well those flashing lights told me
Didn´t have to say a word
Someone took my baby
Someone took away my world.

All they found was a letter
I should never have let her go
The river´s the only witness
The only one who knows.

And the wind whispers her name
And all the lonesome years
Water turns to whiskey
I drown in my own tears.

Down by the river
I see my life in flames
Down by the river honey
I call out your name.

I call out your name

I call out your name
