Judy Collins (Judith Marjorie Collins, nacida el 1 de mayo de 1939 en Seattle, estado de Washington, EUA) empezó a actuar en público a los 13 años, pero no como cantante, sino como pianista. Subió a su primer escenario para tocar el Concierto para dos pianos, de W. A. Mozart. No cito esa circunstancia por la actualidad de Mozart, sino porque en éste su último disco –que hace el número 39 de su carrera, si las cuentas no me fallan– Collins utiliza el piano

[Verse 1] C I'm going down to the riverbank this morning FCG Way before the family is awake AmC Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water FCGAm And spill out all my troubles for everyone's sake
[Verse 2] C You can't have love when you never can surrender FCG I've been spreading around my anger like a plague FD I have sailed this far with my boat on fire FDEm Fighting flames each day, too stubborn to expire
{Chorus] FAm I will soak my soul G Let the river take control D The river take control FAm And I know it's not too late G To let go the weight Am To let go the weight
[Verse 3] C The sun will rise and shine on me this morning FCG It will seep its way into my heart AmC And untie all the knots that have hardened me through the years FCGAm And I'll embrace the wisdom that sun will impart
[Verse 4] C And with this heat burning inside me FCG I will warm all the people that I love FD In their darkest hours and the weakest of minds FDEm I'll light up their nights with every star I can find__
{Chorus] FAm I will soak my soul G Let the river take control D The river take control FAm And I know it's not too late G To let go the weight
To let go___
{Chorus] FAm Oh, I will soak my soul G Let the river take control D The river take control FAm And I know it's not too late G To let go the weight Am To let go the weight
[Outro] FAm Ooh ooh ooh, etc. FAm Ooh ooh ooh, etc. FAm Ooh ooh ooh, etc. FAm Ooh ooh ooh, etc.
