River Blues

I'll follow the river to its source
Where the river winds I'm changing course
A fool am I to wander far and wide
I'll remain in sight and along her side

Leave goodness be
It does not need correction
It's so unwise to fall for
What will not return affection
What will crush the wayward heart our foolishness pursues
What hurts the soul the soul adores
How we love to sing the blues

Nothing I desire but to follow where it flows
From the mouth of the river springs the wisdom of the Lord
I can hear your voice the one without end
I'm a natural perennial I'm born again

Leave goodness be
It does not need correction
It's so unwise to fall for
What will not return affection
What will crush the wayward heart our foolishness pursues
What hurts the soul the soul adores
How we love to sing the blues

I'm done with the past that held me in debt
Looking out for what I haven't seen or heard of yet
There's nothing new under the sun
What will become yesterday will become yesterday
Once tomorrow comes

Leave goodness be
It does not need correction
It's so unwise to fall for
What will not return affection
What will crush the wayward heart our foolishness pursues
What hurts the soul the soul adores
How we love to sing the blues
What hurts the soul the soul adores
How we love to sing the blues
