The second track of my 13-song Composer album. My father would take my sister and me down to Richmond's James River as children to swim, rock-jump. Growing up, I went down myself, taking friends and reminiscing. Watching the waters helped me think, and overcome my first unfortunate relationship.
T. Nathan Roane - Composer - 02 - Down to the River
lyrics
Going down to the river, gonna meet some friends of mine, going down singing, "Why, oh why? When I hear angels within your sighs, do I think of damned and broken things, and seamless lies?"
Going down to the river, gonna leave my friends behind, going down screaming, "Take these broken things of mine. Take my heart to pacify. You'll find I won't be needing them anymore. Well, to tell the truth, I've seen things through, found I've grown away from you - so goodbye."
