Down by the river

I live in a house with a river running at the bottom of the garden so i wrote a song about it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz0ygixKAno

When I get down by the river and I watch it flow
I Wonder where the hell it finally goes
Snaking through the hills down through the trees
Over the rocks singing out to the breeze

When I Get down by the river
Down by the river it becomes a part of me

It releases the chains inside of me
That tie my soul and sets the free
Lets go of the anxiety
That I feel is eating the inside of me

Down by the river
Down by the river,
the river becomes a part of me

Down but the river
the river is a part of me

a hard day toiling with the earth
All the stress’s and all the strains just slip away
When I get Down by the river to play
It cleanses me, it take my worries away

Oh down by the river yeah
Let me Down by the river let it flow right over me

Down by the river
That river becomes part of me

Down by the river, I love watching it flow
I love the day just drifting by as it goes
Wether it rains or pours or the sun does shine
It does the same thing to me every time

down by the river
Let me Down, let me down
by the river let it flow through me
down by the river
Let me Down, let me down
by the river

When I was young I learned to swim
I’d run to the river and dive right in
Feeling the water on my skin
Feel that goodness from with in

Let me down by the river
Let me down by the river let me let in

Down by the river
The river is a part of me

Let me down by the river
Let the river flo away with me

Down by the river
Let me down let me down let me down by the river l

let me down down by the river let my problems float away from me
Down by the river its a part of me

Love the layered vocals on this. A cool dip in the river sounds perfect right about now.

Wow. That works. Really uplifting. We've only got slugs down the bottom of our garden. And the top. And a lot of snails in the middle. No ants though - they all seem to have moved into the house in the last few days...
