Take me down to the river where the waters run together
Lay my body down
Underneath the shady tree where the morning sun will shine on me
Lay my body down​

In the springtime sit with me, we’ll watch the flowers and the bees
Sing and run around​
When the fall begins to cool, winter gathers at the pool
Sing and settle down

Out in the day clouds gather and they go
Only in the night the light may grow

Feel the breeze obey the wind and hear the leaves all say the end is near
Lay my body down
At the end with all the blessed I’ll come to take my well-earned rest
Lay my body down

I might know a thing or two about the one I love
I’ve spent all the time I need to above
