Ring of white rope bound to my soul A glimpse of a life drowning away My heart lingering on the edge of no tomorrow Soaring cliff above all the rushing water
Let me lay this rope down Unburden this weary soul Never shrinking from what drags underneath the water Grasping at unseen air to breath
Just take me down the river, Don’t fight the undertow Just take me down the river The sadness you don’t want to know Just take me down the river Don’t fight the undertow Let this weary soul flow away now
No use fighting against the current Sorrow and heartache is not the solution Let go of the rope and all the pain it holds Float on and take the hits
Raging rapids drives your rage The drop off kills you bit by bit Up to the last big drop Into the deep, into the deep
Just take me down the river, Don’t fight the undertow Just take me down the river The sadness you don’t want to know Just take me down the river Don’t fight the undertow Let this weary soul flow away now
