Down to the River
I went down to the river
Blowing out onto the sea
On my way to the ocean
Let the spirit swallow me
I got low down in the water
I let the current guide my bones
I got nine kinds of trouble
I'm just trying to find my way home
Over 20 some years of living
And a thousand wasted days
I have loved a lot of women
Many times I've gone wrong ways
And I came down to the water
For a dip to cleanse my soul
They keep tellin' me that I'm just a babe
But baby, why do I feel so old?
This is the verge of a breakthrough
It's a fine line that cannot be bent
And I felt like a river ran dry
But I don't know where all the rainwater went
And I believe we were all dead or dying
But I see different in the blue light
There is no such thing as a dawn or dusk
It's daylight until it is night
You gotta fight through the dimming
You gotta run into the west
You gotta rage against the dying of the light
Live for the moment that's left
You gotta fight against your demons
You gotta run into the west
You gotta rage against the dying of the light
Live for the moment that's left
'Cause there is no such thing as a dying man
We're alive 'til the moment we're dead
And a drowning man is just a living man
Who hasn't run out of his last bit of breath
I went down to the river
Blowing out onto the sea
On my way to the ocean
Let the spirit swallow me
I got low down in the water
I let the current guide my bones
I got nine kinds of trouble
I'm just trying to find my way home
Find my way home
Find my way home
Find my way home
Blowing out onto the sea
On my way to the ocean
Let the spirit swallow me
I got low down in the water
I let the current guide my bones
I got nine kinds of trouble
I'm just trying to find my way home
Over 20 some years of living
And a thousand wasted days
I have loved a lot of women
Many times I've gone wrong ways
And I came down to the water
For a dip to cleanse my soul
They keep tellin' me that I'm just a babe
But baby, why do I feel so old?
This is the verge of a breakthrough
It's a fine line that cannot be bent
And I felt like a river ran dry
But I don't know where all the rainwater went
And I believe we were all dead or dying
But I see different in the blue light
There is no such thing as a dawn or dusk
It's daylight until it is night
You gotta fight through the dimming
You gotta run into the west
You gotta rage against the dying of the light
Live for the moment that's left
You gotta fight against your demons
You gotta run into the west
You gotta rage against the dying of the light
Live for the moment that's left
'Cause there is no such thing as a dying man
We're alive 'til the moment we're dead
And a drowning man is just a living man
Who hasn't run out of his last bit of breath
I went down to the river
Blowing out onto the sea
On my way to the ocean
Let the spirit swallow me
I got low down in the water
I let the current guide my bones
I got nine kinds of trouble
I'm just trying to find my way home
Find my way home
Find my way home
Find my way home
