Lyrics
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
Down, down, down
G G/F# Em Em7/B
We’re floating down a river
D D/C# Am Am7 G Em
and the river’s wild and cold.
But on we go
In a vessel made of silver
With oars of shiny gold.
The wind blows hard
and the rain just keeps a-pouring
But our boats warm and dry
Just keep keeping on
I hear the wind a-calling
you’ve got to live before you die
F#m
Let’s find a way
Bm
To kill the cold and gray
A A7
Let’s just walk and don’t look back
G Em D
Walk and don’t look back
So down, down, down,
We’re floating down a river
And the river is wide and deep.
But time, time, time
Is all it’s gonna take
And you know that time is cheap.
