There's a time by the banks of the river when the sun drops down behind the pines when I see clear now this gift I've been given I see clearly now this life of mine Chorus Take me down, to the river Take me down, to the banks by the river side though I am down to t last strength I been given I grow stronger there by the river side
There's a tree down by the old muddy river old as the earth tall as the sky sometimes I wish for the fate he's been given to stand there quiet by the river side Chorus Bridge An if it all ends here today Take me to the river and pick up my guitar and play We’ll let the wind and the water wash us all away Wash us all away Chorus, Chorus, 1/2 Chorus, End
