Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, ooh
[Verse 2]
Free fall flow, river, flow
On and on it goes
Breathe under water till the end
Free fall flow, river, flow
On and on it goes
Breathe under water till the end
Yes, the river knows
[Verse 3]
Please believe me
If you don't need me
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in mystic heated wine
[Verse 4]
Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, ooh
[Verse 5]
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in mystic heated wine
[Verse 6]
Free fall flow, river, flow
On and on it goes
Breathe under water till the end
Free fall flow, river, flow
On and on it goes
Breathe under water till the end
Written by: Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger
