The River

Intro: Verse: There’s a heart here cast in stone And there’s a past, dear, I must atone Oh there were moments I've thrust away Now there’s a keeper that I must pay So here’s the scythe now and here’s the soil And here’s the seed, dear, that I must toil To heal the orchard from the cold, dead earth Pre-Chorus: Well I’m sorry, love, for all I have undone And I’m sorry, dear, for what I have become Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go Down to the river we’ll go - to the river we’ll go Down Verse: Oh these weathered, old hands of mine They have grown weary over time This ageing heart now, it’s in the slow But, dear, its beating still stands to grow And oh the years, dear, they’ll be harsh and long But I will go out and sing your songs Over the mountains, on the hills and the streams Pre-Chorus:
