Lyrics

When the sky is a-burning red
Blazing light 'cross the water's edge
Is every soul that was here before
Offered up on its stony shore
Let the air that's as clean as bliss
Move the water with a holy kiss
Bless the grass that is greenest green
Heal the pain that has gone unseen
Take me down, take me down to hale strew river
Take me down, take me down, take me down
Let my sorrows be drowned in hale strew river
Take me down, take me down, take me down
Take me down
Take me down, take me down to hale strew river
Take me down, take me down, take me down
Let our sorrows be drowned in hale strew river
Take me down, take me down, take me down
Oh, take me down
