Intro

Verse

Down by the river

The water’s cold

Used to ha

ve a girl but that&

rsquo;s

alright

She came to

me in a dream

And slipped

away like a running s

tream

The hours of silence

In the light of the moon

Brings to

me a sense

of e

ase

There’s no

thing else that I c

ould do

For that

woman won't be

pleased

I see her running

But I’m not the same

I’ve chased after pleasure

To bury my

pain

But it’s resurrected

When I say her name

My love and regret are one in the

same

The scream of a raven

The screech of an owl

A heartbroke and

lonesome coyo

te

howl

Those old Hartford

records that we used to

play

And the

silence when she went

away

A flower

illustrated in bloom

Floating on a wisp of consciousness

She rides innocently

down the river to

The place where the light lives

And shrugs off enchantment with a sig

h

Dreaming from the

first moment of her life

Unheard songs bathed i

n silver ring out as

M

orning rolls into the

endless

I see her running

But I’m not the same

I’ve chased after pleasure

To bury my pain

But it’s resurrected

When I say her name

My love and regret are one in the s

ame

I keep wandering back

To a place in my mind

Where moonlight r

eflections return to h

er e

yes

To gaze at the

water once more

Before t

urning again to the s

ky

Down by the river

The water’s cold

Used to h

ave a girl but that&

rsquo;

s alright

She came to

me in a dream

And slipped

away like a running

stream
