She feels her heart still beating She can't afford to go She has to stay here Reaching for the one she loves so She hears his footsteps calling She speaks with her eyes Take me down to the riverside She sees her love and children She takes them by the hand Too young to let her go Too young to understand She struggles as she's breathing The distant starts to grow Take me once more to the riverside And I won't go they lead me I'll stay here by your side I won't go And if they try to persuade me I'll fight with every inch of my body and soul The tears are coming closer The darkness starts to crowd Inside her soul is screaming But she can't let it out She feels her grip is loosening She fears the bitter end She fights for her life she loves with every ounce of strength Take me once more to the riverside She says 'Cause I won't go where they lead me I'll stay here by your side I won't go And if they try to persuade me I'll fight with every inch of my body and soul I won't go He wispers into her her ear Don't forget The life that we gave The life that we live The life that we love Is not over yet And I can't go where they lead you Please stay here by my side I can't let you go where they lead you Let's stay here down by the riverside
