[Intro]
Wait for me, I'll come down
I'll be with you, I'll come down
You called for me, So I'll come down
Believe me in me, I'll come down
[Chorus]

"Come", that's what he told me
Come down to the river, come down
I'll be at the river
Waiting for your soul to be with me forever
Come down
[Hook]
I can't live another day

[Verse 1]
Hold on to me, I'll come down
You bring me there, so I'll come down
Don't belong to anybody
Push me over!
I won't drown, I'll come down
[Chorus]
[Hook]
[Bridge]
I'll be strong and weak today
I'll give in to what you say
Cause I've tried to live alone
But your voice is just too strong
Oh woah...
(Too strong)
Yeah...
[Chorus][x2]
[Hook]
[Outro]
So let it carry me away
Mmm... away
