I went down to the river Flowing out onto the sea On my way to the ocean Let the spirit swallow me
I got low down in the water I let the current guide my bones I got 9 kinds of trouble I'm just trying to find my way home
Over 20 some years of living And a thousand wasted days I have loved a lot of women Many times I've gone wrong ways And I came down to the water For a dip to cleanse my soul They keep telling me that I'm just a babe But baby why do I feel so old
This is the verge of a breakthrough It's a fine line that cannot be bent And I felt like a river run dry But I don't know where all of the rainwater went
And I believe we were all dead or dying But I see different in the blue light There is no such thing as a dawn or a dusk It's daylight until it is night
You gotta fight through the dimmin' You gotta run into the winds You gotta rage against the dying of the light Live for the moment that's left
You gotta fight through the dimmin' You gotta run into the winds You gotta rage against the dying of the light Live for the moment that's left
Cause there is no such thing as a dying man We are alive till the moment we're dead And a drowning man is just a living man Who hasn't run out of his last bit of breath
I went down to the river Flowing out onto the sea On my way to the ocean Let the spirit swallow me
I got low down in the water I let the current guide my bones I got 9 kinds of trouble I'm just trying to find my way home
Find my way home Find my way home Find my way home
