Calling to the night
To the rhythm in the sky
I'll be dancing in the dark
Down by the riverside
Bounded by the moon
I’ll be waiting in the blues
Won't you lay your harvest down
Right down by the riverside
On the edges of the banks
I found the hiding place
Oh water tell me what you know
On the edges of the pain
I wash it all away
And I cry out to the tide
Down by the riverside
Cast away my heavy load
Lay it down by the willow grove
Muddy water heals my soul
Down by the riverside
Gonna rest my burdens down
Fixed upon that starry crown
Angels singing all around
Down by the riverside
On the edges of the banks
I found the hiding place
Oh water tell me what you know
On the edges of the pain
I wash it all away
And I cry out to the tide
Down by the riverside
Calling to the night
To the rhythm in the sky
We'll be dancing in the dark
Down by the riverside
On the edges of the banks
I found the hiding place
Oh water tell me what you know
On the edges of the pain
I wash it all away
And I cry out to the tide
Down by the riverside
I find a peace of mind
Down by the riverside
I made it out alive
Down by the riverside
