Went down by the river
Where a dreamer goes to dream
Eyes on the vortex
The current's timeless seam
I heard a cry down by the river
A spirit in the summer Moon
Did the savage dark water
Consume another soul too soon

River keep arollin', rollin' cold and rollin' free
River keep arollin', rollin' to the deep dark sea
River keep arollin', roll right over me
Rollin', yeah

I went down by the river
I saw the footprints in the sand
Leading to nowhere
I guess I'll never understand
Maybe I crave a nightmare
To be in the middle of
Or maybe I'm searching
For waters I can rise above

River keep arollin', rollin' cold and rollin' free
River keep arollin', rollin' to the deep dark sea
River keep arollin', roll right over me
Rollin', yeah, oh

One more time my heart stops beatin'
One more time my soul starts feelin'
This ain't real, this ain't right
I'm wipin' my eyes, it's gonna be alright

Hey, down by the river there's a mystery
Down by the river, now come on and see
And if it's real I'll hold you tight
Open your eyes it's gonna be alright (yeah, it's gonna be alright)

River keep arollin', rollin' cold and rollin' free
River keep arollin', rollin' to the deep dark sea
River keep arollin', roll right over me
Rollin', yeah, eh yeah

Rollin' (river keep rollin', roll, roll on)
Rollin' (roll on, roll on, roll, roll on)
