Ben Caplan - Down To The River

I went down to the river flowing out unto 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’ve got nine kinds of trouble I’m just trying to find my way home. Over twenty-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 I river run dry but I don’t know where all of the rainwater went And I believed 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 is daylight until it is night You’ve got to fight through the dimming You’ve got to run into the west You’ve go to rage against the dying of the light Live for the moment that’s left ‘Cause there is no such thing as a dying man We’re alive ’till the moment we’re dead and a drowning man is just a living man Who hasn’t run out of his last bit of breath. I went down to the river flowing out unto 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’ve got nine kinds of trouble I’m just trying to find my way home.
