Riverside by Agnes Obel

Down by the river by the boats
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you wont see any rising sun
Down to the river we (1)________ run

When by the water we (2)__________ to the dregs
Look at the stones on the river bed
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riverside

Down by the water the riverbed
Somebody calls you somebody says
Swim (3)________ the current and float away
Down by the river everyday
(Oh) my God I see
How everything is torn
In the river deep
And I don't (4)________ why
I go the way
Down by the riverside

When (5)________ old river runs pass (6)________ eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the (7)__________ so (8)________ near
The river will be (9)________ eyes and ears

I walk to the borders on my own
To fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all alone
(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
(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
...
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
