Lyrics
Down 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.
Finally we have seen some things
Some awfully nice
Some dreadfully bad
But we will sing
Wash the blood off our knees
Cause our love breaks through rough seas our ship will sail
And i don't understand how this world would work
Cause time will tell us nothing
I'll take a chance on something
Feeling old, feelings this time take you
Down river, down river, down river, down
Walk these stairs, put the pieces back together
Go don't stop, go don't stop, go don't stop now, go
Finally, we have seen some things
But bells in your hallways
Don't move you in the right place
So we will sing, cast our hopes out to sea
Though our hearts break, through violent winds our ship will sail
And i don't understand how this world would work
Cause time will tell us nothing
I'll take a chance on something
Feeling old, feelings this time take you
Down river, down river, down river, down
Walk these stairs, put the pieces back together
Go don't stop, go don't stop, go don't stop
Go don't stop now, go....
