Down by the River - Luciana Zogbi

Down by the river where the angels and the devil meet

Where endings come to meet beginnings and pay Charon’s fee

Ten thousand years you’ve roamed alone

While drunken prophets on the way stopped you to say

By the way

All that’s in the Milky Way

By the way

All the oceans are for you

The moon

For you

Down by the river thirsty sailor’s kisses line the shore

Where mermaids come to hear the sweet lies of troubadours

Ten thousand years you’ve roamed alone

While drunken prophets on the way stopped you to say

By the way

All that’s in the Milky Way

By the way

All the oceans are for you

The moon

For you

For you

The moon

For you

Down by the river where the angels and the devil meet
