Down Like Silver --- To the River --- No Capo
[Verse 1]
CI walk to the river,
FWaiting to hear the water Csing
CI sit down beside her,
FTrying to hear the quiet Cring
[Chorus 1]
The lCeaves break the falling of the sFunlight that covers these Cbanks
GI've seen the water runningF, I've seen the color wash Caway
[Verse 2]
CI come to the river
FHeavy and tired to the Cbone
CI lay down beside her
FGrave as a slowly sinking Cstone
[Chorus 2]
I see Cclear to the bottom, I Fwatch how the shadows Cplay
GI've seen the water fallingF, I've seen the colors bleed Caway
[Verse 3]
CThe light turns silver,
FDraining the hours from the Cday
The wCeight of the water puFlls at the branches along the Cbanks
And it tCears at the faAmllen and it cFarries the brAmoken on it's Cway
[Outro]
GI've seen the water rolling, FI've seen the colors fade Caway
GI've seen the water rolling, FI've seen the colors fade Caway
