Lyrics of Riverside by Agnes Obel
verse
Down by the river by the boat
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you won't see any rising sun
Down to the river we will run
verse
When by the water we drink to the dregs
Look at the stones on the riverbed
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riverside
verse
Down by the water, the riverbed
Somebody calls you, somebody says
"Swim with the current and float away"
Down by the river everyday
chorus
Oh my God
I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
verse
When that old river runs past your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near
The river will be your eyes and ears
verse
I walk to the borders on my own
Fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all alone?
chorus
Oh my God
I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
chorus
Oh my God
I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
outro
Oh, oh, I
Oh, oh, I
Oh, oh, I
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Writer(s): Agnes Caroline Thaarup Obel
