Starry night she’s watching
Weary eyes remind him
Of all he’s forgotten
New day on the horizon
Midnight calls the wind comes
In through windows and old walls
She says time is a rerun
Of playing God for a season
We go down to the river
Whether saint or sinner
We’ve all got ties to the Giver
We all go down to the river
Lay me down when the night falls
Give our bones when the time calls
Oh my brother my sister
We all go down to the river
It’s the salt in resistor
It’s burn in the liquor
In the heart of the drifter
Is a sting is a splinter
There’s a peace that I dream of
Settles into a sweet hum
It is there for everyone
For all time, for a reason
We go down to the river
Whether saint or sinner
We’ve all got ties to the Giver
We all go down to the river
Lay me down when the night falls
Give our bones when the time calls
Oh my brother my sister
We all go down to the river
Ooooh we’ve been here before
Ooooh knocking on the door
Ooooh I can hear the call
Ooooh here beneath it all
We go down to the river
Whether saint or sinner
We’ve all got ties to the Giver
We all go down to the river
Lay me down when the night falls
Give our bones when the time calls
Oh my brother my sister
We all go down to the river
To the river
Down to the river
