i've been going down

down into the river baby

listen to the sound

 it's something only god knows

you figure it out, i can't stay

water's in the clouds

 is my life about to change?

who knows, who cares

so we took a van down to colorado

where we ran into the dead

i took you by the hand

know that even with your doubts, it's ok

take into account that it's not about to change

who knows, who cares

you could let it down

jump into the river baby

easy as it sounds

it's never quite as easily done

the current has us now, it's ok

take into account that it's all about to change

who knows, who cares
