Lyrics
DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE (copyright 2006 by Lonnie Crash)
I saw you there, down by the riverside
away down there, where the bank is high
and it's deep and wide, to the other side
way down there, down by the riverside.
You thought you had it figured out, your whole philosophy
but all those lies you told yourself, now they won't leave you be.
It's cool down there, down by the riverside
the trees are bare, and you cannot hide
from that tremblin' tide, that you feel inside
way down there, down by the riverside
Look into that cool, clear water, tell me who you see
do you see the person there you thought that you could be?
I'll meet you there, down by the riverside
let down your hair, I'll be at your side
you ain't gotta hide, what you feel inside
way down there, dry your weepin' eyes
Slip into that cool, clear water, tell me what you feel
do you feel it wash away all that you thought was real?
I'll see you there, down by the riverside
let down your hair, I'll be at your side
then we'll take a ride, to that other side
way over there, dry your weeping eyes
( Istrumental, fade to end)
