I was lonely and I was searchin' for the sun Your one and only took a trip to get undone Well my high low mam don't you give me the blues Take me to the river where I can let it loose All the lovin ah like you never knew Out back to where the dust grows old Where the spirits fly so high It was a cold dark night and I swear we was feelin' right As our bones took us down straight to the light I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love All emotions slip through my hands Like an ocean movin rollin in on the sand A sea of love, honey where you been My love's been knockin buy you ain't in Where's my lover Where's my lover Out back to where the dust grows old Where the spirits never die That cold dark night but I know we was feelin' right As we roll through the hours down into the light I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love Days are long and the nights run deeper Out back where the spirits never die I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love I'm goin' down, down, down to the river of love down, down, down to the river of love down, down, down to the river of love down, down, down to the river of love down, down, down to the river of love
