Down to the River

Take me down to the river girl while I'm still able
Take me down to the stream across from the stable
Take the load off me
You only live once if you live right once is enough
She said to me

Charlie said "it will be okay at daylight!"
My brother said "boy get on that boat!"
Well I don't ever wanna leave
Don't wanna be the hero if I won't win the fight
It just don't seem right

When we landed it was 40 degrees
All that weight pressing down on me
Open the door
Who we are, is not who we were before
But have I changed at all?

Have I changed at all?
Have I changed at all?

Milky eyes, skin like sunlight
And that kiss, glitters like gold
Well I come in peace
To mend all the memory and cast away our defeats
Baby come and walk with me

Grab hold of what you know to be sturdy
Grab hold of something true and strong
Don't be fooled by the breeze
Bunker down, hide away and do all you can before
The oncoming storm

Tension builds it's getting harder to breath
Feels like someone's pressing down on me
Open the door
Who we are is not who we were before
But have I changed at all?

Have I changed at all?
Have I changed at all?
Have I changed at all?
Have I changed at all?
