Down To The River - Steve Gates, Rose Cousins

Down to the river of his arms she went

Carrying the weight away

There’s a feeling in my heart

And it feels nice and cold

Reminds me of a joke

That a little boy has told

And we all know it well

We’ve all been there before

An' you can bring it to my house

But you can leave it at the door

Down to the river of his arms she went

Carrying the weight away

There’s somethin' in my heart

And it feels nice and warm

It is heavy like a book, but it reads like a poem

You can sing it like a seed

Sew it in your mind

Plant it in your morning

And grow it in your mind

Down to the river of his arms she went

Carrying the weight away

Carrying the weight away
