Down To The River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ride out the storm
Take on the wave
Don't run, run, run
The wind's gonna blow and the ground's gonna shake
Then it's gone, gone, gone
If I ask you tenderly, will you follow me down to the river?
I'll let you down, I'll break your wings
If you follow me down to the river
Try not to mourn
Shake off the pain
Don't run, run, run
The world's gonna spin and the earth's gonna quake
Then it's done, done, done
If I ask you tenderly, will you follow me down to the river?
I'll let you down, I'll break your wings
If you follow me down to the river
Follow me down
Follow me down to the river
Follow me down
Follow me down to the river
Follow me down
Follow me down to the river
I've got it all, all ahead of me now
A pattern's gonna form and the wind's gonna blow me down
Ride out the storm
Take on the wave
Don't run, run, run
The wind's gonna blow and the crowd's gonna break
Then it's gone, gone, gone
If I ask you tenderly, will you follow me down to the river?
I'll let you down, I'll break your wings
If you follow me down to the river
Follow me down
Follow me down to the river
Follow me down
Follow me down to the river
Follow me down
Follow me down to the river
