Lyrics
[verse]
Down where the river bends and sighs
Underneath the Southern skies
I hear the current call my name
It sounds a little like the rain
[chorus]
Take me down to the dark water
Where the old songs never end
Let the current be my teacher
Let the river be my friend
[verse]
Cypress trees and lantern glow
Music drifting soft and slow
Nobody's in a hurry here
Just the water, calm and clear
[chorus]
Take me down to the dark water
Where the old songs never end
Let the current be my teacher
Let the river be my friend
[bridge]
Let the banjo ring out true
Let the choir carry through
I don't need another place
Just this river's gentle grace
[chorus]
Take me down to the dark water
Where the old songs never end
Let the current be my teacher
Let the river be my friend
