Gone Down River

You say the clouds will make you cry
I can't say
The sun is in my eyes and I can't see a thing today
You ask me what the future holds
I don't know
The wind is in my ears and I can't hear

And I'm gone, gone down river
I'm gone to see the sea
Well I'm gone, gone tomorrow
Child of sorrow, don't weep for me

You ask me just to stay with you
I can't stay
Find another man to come and drive your dreams away
You say you'd like to sing my song
Sing along
We got a short time here
Such a long time gone

And I'm gone, gone down river
I'm gone to see the sea
Well I'm gone, gone forever
Gone tomorrow, here today

Well I'm gone, gone down river
Now I'm gone to see the sea
Well I'm gone, gone forever
Sweet child of sorrow, I'm here today
Well I'm gone, gone down river
Now I'm gone to see the sea
Well I'm gone, gone tomorrow
Gone forever, here today
Well I'm gone, gone down river
Now I'm gone to see the sea
Well I'm gone, gone tomorrow
Child of sorrow, don't weep for me

Well I'm gone, gone down river
Now I'm gone

Well I'm gone, gone down river
Now I'm gone to see the sea
Well I'm gone, gone forever
Gone tomorrow, here today
Well I'm gone, gone down river
Now I'm gone to see the sea
Well I'm gone, gone tomorrow
Child of sorrow, don't weep for me
