Down To The River

Bernard Fanning

Ride out the storm 
Take on the wave 
Don't run, run, run 
The wind's gonna blow and the ground's gonna shake 
Then it's gone, gone, gone 

If I ask you tenderly, will you follow me down to the river? 
I'll let you down, I'll break your wings 
If you follow me down to the river 

Try not to mourn 
Shake off the pain 
Don't run, run, run 
The world's gonna spin and the earth's gonna quake 
Then it's done, done, done 

If I ask you tenderly, will you follow me down to the river? 
I'll let you down, I'll break your wings 
If you follow me down to the river 

Follow me down 
Follow me down to the river 
Follow me down 
Follow me down to the river 
Follow me down 
Follow me down to the river 

I've got it all, all ahead of me now 
A pattern's gonna form and the wind's gonna blow me down 

Ride out the storm 
Take on the wave 
Don't run, run, run 
The wind's gonna blow and the crowd's gonna break 
Then it's gone, gone, gone 

If I ask you tenderly, will you follow me down to the river? 
I'll let you down, I'll break your wings 
If you follow me down to the river 

Follow me down 
Follow me down to the river 
Follow me down 
Follow me down to the river 
Follow me down 
Follow me down to the river
