[Intro]
Woo-oo, oo-oo
Woo-oo, oo-oo
[Verse 1]
I was lost down by the river
I took small steps to ease my pride
[Verse 2]
I did stare down at the river
Would have jumped in and would have died
[Refrain]
Were it not for the love that has seen me stripped and hollow
Were it not for the love that you show me in your eyes
[Interlude]
Woo-oo, oo-oo
[Verse 3]
If you took down several notes
Of the stars and the river
You could chart a path to where you and I began
[Verse 4]
And if you did a little coaxing
Of the flow of the river
You could see where I stopped, and where I ran
[Refrain]
Were it not for the love that has proven to be freedom
Were it not for the love that I hold here in my arms
[Interlude]
Woo-oo, oo-oo
Woo-oo, oo-oo
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
In the days of strange to come
You will hold my head when I am weak
[Verse 6]
If you said you loved me once
Then I know it was forever
So I don’t need to be afraid to dream and cry and laugh and see and speak
[Refrain]
‘Cause it’s not for the love that I show you every day the things inside
Woo-oo, oo-oo
It is not for the love that I everyday and every night
And everyday and night
And everyday and every night
And everyday
That I walk
[Outro]
Woo-oo, oo-oo
Woo-oo, oo-oo
Do-do Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
