Last night I went out walking
out on the edge of town,
not going no place special,
only wandering around.
Instrumental
verse 2
I came upon a river.
I thought about what you said
and couldn't stop it flowing
and running through my head.
Instrumental
verse 3
You said that I'd been changing
and never seemed to laugh,
but I can't recall the last time you smiled
and it's tearing me in half.

Solo
Instrumental
verse 4
I want to run and tell you
the thoughts that are in my head,
but I don't think that you'd believe
a single word I said.
Instrumental
Verse 5
The river's water runs so cool
it calms my burning skin.
It takes away my aching thoughts
and cleanses all my sin.
Instrumental
Verse 6
So let it flow on, take me down,
to sleep that quiet sleep.
And roll my body back to you
my love you may always keep.
