DOWN TO THE RIVER Ben Caplan

I went down to the river
Flowing out onto the sea
On my way to the ocean
Let the spirit swallow me

I got low down in the water
I let the current guide my bones
I got 9 kinds of trouble
I'm just trying to find my way home

Over 20 some years of living
And a thousand wasted days
I have loved a lot of women
Many times I've gone wrong ways
And I came down to the water
For a dip to cleanse my soul
They keep telling me that I'm just a babe
But baby why do I feel so old

This is the verge of a breakthrough
It's a fine line that cannot be bent
And I felt like a river run dry
But I don't know where all of the rainwater went

And I believe we were all dead or dying
But I see different in the blue light
There is no such thing as a dawn or a dusk
It's daylight until it is night

I got low down in the water
I let the current guide my bones
I got 9 kinds of trouble
I'm just trying to find my way home
