Capo 2
G Em
Well I dove into that river
C G D
To see what I could find
C G D G
And the water it rolled on top of me
C D
And the stars refused to shine
G Em
Well I swam until I could not swim
C G D
Then I swam a little more
C G D G
And the current held me like a lover’s arms
C D
And then it left me on the shore
G Em
Then I stood and looked to from where I came
C G D
The place where I was born
C G D G
But it seemed to me only half is real
C D
Like the dark and distant storm
G Em
And I breathed the air around me
C G D
I felt my heart beat new
C G D G
For I left my home and I nearly drowned
C D G
For a glimpse of something few have ever seen
G Em
Then I walked up from the shoreline
C G D
To a city shining bright
C G D G
And I walked the streets of that lovely place
C D
Till the coming of the night
G Em
But there were no voices speaking
C G D
There was not a soul around
C G D G
So I sat alone on an empty throne
C D
In the middle of that town
[Chorus]
C G
And I said oh my, oh me
C G D
Oh me, oh my
C G D G
There’s a river that runs between the sun
C D
And the darkness of our lives
C G
You can hit the road or stay in bed
C G D
You can sink or swim or fight
C G D G
But when all of this is said and done
C D G
You gon’ walk so gently still into that night
G Em
Then I sat so still and silent
C G D
With my head hanging low
C G D G
And an emptiness like a barren field
C D
You know it settled round my soul
G Em
Then a man appeared before me
C G D
Though I tried, I can’t deny
C G D G
That he had my father’s face and hands
C D
But his eyes shone like the sky
G Em
He said my son, you’ve come too soon
C G D
You better get on outta here
C G D G
You know I’d let you stay but round here a day
C D
Is much like a thousand years
G Em
And your heart is like a diamond
C G D
It splits the light in two
C G D G
And you’ll only shine for a certain time
C D
Till you’re swallowed up in blue
[Chorus]
C G
And I said oh my, oh me
C G D
Oh me, oh my
C G D G
There’s a river that runs between the sun
C D
And the darkness of our lives
C G
You can hit the road or stay in bed
C G D
You can sink or swim or fight
C G D G
But when all of this is said and done
C D G
You gon’ walk so gently still into that night
G Em
So I dove into that river
C G D
Again a second time
C G D G
And the water rolled on top of me
C D
And the stars refused to shine
G Em
Then I swam until I could not swim
C G D
And I sank just like a stone
C G D G
When I woke again I was laying in
C D
My bed inside my home
G Em
Then I walked out to the city streets
C G D
With the voices high and bright
C G D G
And I breathed the air without a care
C D
And I walked so gently still
G
Into that light
G Em
Well I dove into that river
C G D
To see what I could find
C G D G
And the water it rolled on top of me
C D
