There’s something in my heart
And it feels like fire
There's a yearnin’ in the river
And it feels like home
Take me down, take me down to the water
I need time
Give me time

The old Shenandoah gonna keep me right
And hold me like I was forgiven
Take me down, and let the beachwood light
I need time
Give me time

Tellin myself to keep good faith
There ain’t much these days to celebrate
Pullin’ my hoodie over my face
I need time
Give me time

Take my name when I'm dead and gone
And throw my ashes in the river
Know that I lived my whole life long
And gave all the love that I could’ve given
