Down to the River Lyrics

I've been walking too long
Too long, yes
Shake my head and wonder why I cry those tears
So that my feet are burning, Lord
And my eyes they cannot see
Would you tell me why it is that these shoes terrify me
Yeah, they terrify me

Take me down
Down to the river
Down to the river then
Sweet love got to walk beside me
Hold my hand
Down to the river
Down to the river, Lord
Sweet love got to hold me under
Save my soul
Yes, you've got to save my soul
You've got to save my soul, now
Save my soul
Yes, you've got to save my soul, now

Spent most of my life confused and in pain
Things I can lie never begin to explain
It takes more than a glas of cool water
To toss this flame
Yes, with my peace and my cup
And my eyes turned up to heaven
I messed up back then in the rain
Yes, back up in the rain, now

Down to the river
Down to the river then
Sweet love got to walk beside me
Hold my hand
Down to the river
Down to the river, Lord
Sweet love got to hold me under
Save my soul
Save my soul
Save my soul
You've got to save my soul
Save, save it
Ohh
Save my soul
Save my soul
Ohh
Yeah yeah
Ahh
Yeah yeah
