lyrics

Down to the River

Little soul where do you wander
Like a breeze upon the meadow grass
With a broken bag of stories
And a sparrow that you can’t surpass

Take your stories back where they belong
Plant them in the air like seeds
When the birds fly they will take your song
And sing it from then highest tree


So you go down to the river like a child
Where the water runs slow
And the reed rise to your shoulders
I see you now
Down below the shadows of the trees
Where the light swings to the water’s edge
In the winnow of the dancing reeds

Little soul now don’t be sad
We’ll mend your broken heart with gold and silver
One day soon your heart will race
Out there with the dipper and the sun upon your face

So you will go down to the river like a child
Where the water running slow
And the reeds rise to your shoulders
I can see you now
Down below the shadow of the trees
Where the light swings amber in the sun
In the winnow of the dancing breeze
