Down To The River

DOWN TO THE RIVER
©Tim Harrison and Second Avenue Songs 1979
Chorus:
Let's go down to the river
You can wash your soul
Sit on the banks and watch it flow by
We all got a reason to go
I went down to the main street
People rushing to and fro
Moving around in a world that keeps them down
They've got no one to turn to
They've got nowhere to go
I saw a woman staring (at nothing at all)
She'd gone away pretty far
Too scared to talk and too stiff to move
Desperation on her face
Fear in her heart
I was talking to some old folks
They say they've got nothing left to give
Swallowed up by some young people's lies
They don't even feel
They have a reason to live

Tim Harrison and the river and the voice of the loving masculine mystic like a musical mentor fatherly figure.
