[F] I need to go down, [D] I need to come [Gm] down.

Silence stands still as I gaze in the water.

[Gm] The waters that flow as my boat on the river, [F] so I don't cry out [Gm] anymore.
[F] Oh, the river is wise, [D] the river it touches [Gm] my life like the waves on [C] the sand.
[Cm] Long roads lead to [Gm] tranquility, where the [A] ground on my face [D] disappears.
