"Dreams are not an escape from reality, but a means to approach it." - Somerset Maugham

lyrics

CHORUS:
Won’t you come down to the riverside - put your soul at ease
Won’t you come down to the riverside - set your spirit free
Won’t you come down to the riverside - and start a brand new day
Won’t you come down to the riverside - and wash your woes away

I don’t come from a dark place, but I’m feeling mighty low
People say get over it, but they will never know
When I need a little pick me up - I find it from within
I find it in the trees and the riverside - the riverside is the place to begin

CHORUS

I see you alone - busted by the side of the road
Heavy heaving shoulders as you cry
Wondering how you’re gonna get by
Yes, I know the way - I’ll take you there if you want to place
We’re never gonna run or hide, because I’ll show you the wisdom of the riverside,
The riverside, the riverside!

CHORUS

When I get to a roadblock and there’s no place left to go
I head into the forest and I try to take it slow
It’s like leaving the city when the people get you down
I travel through the trees down to the riverside, the riverside where I can be reborn.

CHORUS
