Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take me back to my boat on the river
I need to go down, I need to come down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I won't cry out anymore
[Verse 2]
Time stands still as I gaze in her water
She eases me down, touching me gently
With the waters that flow pass my boat on the river
So, I don't cry out anymore
[Verse 3]
Oh, the river is wise, the river it touches
My life, like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to Tranquility Base
Where the frown on my face disappears
[Verse 4]
Take me down on my boat on the river
And I won't cry out anymore
[Verse 5]
Oh, the river is deep, the river it touches
My life, like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to Tranquility Base
Where the frown on my face disappears, whoa
[Verse 6]
Take me down to my boat on the river
I need to go down, won't you let me go down?
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I won't cry out anymore
[Verse 7]
And I won't cry out anymore
And I won't cry out anymore
