Agnes Obel / Riverside

 

 

 

 

Down by the river by the boats

Where everybody goes to be alone

Where you won't see any rising sun

Down to the river we will run

 

When by the water we drinks to the dregs

Look at the stones on the riverbed

I can tell from your eyes

You've never been by the riverside

 

Down by the water the riverbed

Somebody calls you somebody says

Swim with the current and float away

Down by the river every day

 

Oh my god I see

how everything is torn in the river deep

And I don't know why I go the way

Down by the riverside

 

When that old river runs past your eyes

To wash off the dirt on the riverside

Go to the water so every near

The river will be your eyes and ears

 

I walk to the borders on my own

Fall in the water just like a stone

Chilled to the marrow in them bones

Why do I go here alone

 

Oh my god I see

how everything is torn in the river deep

And I don't know why I go the way

Down by the riverside

Oh my god I see how everything is torn in the river deep

And I don't know why I go the way

Down by the riverside

Oh oh

Ah ah ah

 

 

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside
