Lyrics
Old 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.
In your heart kid, there's heaps of stuff
Growing wildly without you even knowing
It doesn't matter if you are tough
If you don't go there, it'll come to you and eat you up
So go in slowly
Follow that old river
It'll take you to the place
Where you have a longing
Stand in the grace
And let it fall away
Once we started we could've stuck
What was bottled up now is overflowing
You forgot it for long enough
If you don't go there, it'll come to you and eat you up
So go in slowly
Follow that old river
It'll take you to the place
Where you have a longing
Stand in the grace
And let it fall
Slowly
Follow that old river
It'll take you to the place
Where you have a longing
Stand in the grace
And let it fall away
