Every Time I See A River

I've stopped singing the hymns I used to sing

Every morning on the way to school

I've stopped listening to the words on the wind

That used to satisfy my soul

I don't know where to begin

Re-discovering the faith I lost a long time ago

I think about us this greyhound bus

Is bound for pastures unknown

Now every time I see a river

I remember the night my mama had a vision

Angels singing soft and low

Every now and again I still get a shiver

When down in the valley I can hear them singing

Me and the devil we just watch the river flow

Angels don't sing Swing Low anymore

St Paul's got no need for Colston hall

Instrumental

Me and the devil are sitting side by side

I told him my woman she ain't satisfied

He said bury her body by the river side

And Take a greyhound bus and ride boy

Now every time I see a river

I remember the night my mama had a vision

And me and the devil we just watched the river flow

We just watched the river flow

We just watched the river flow

We just watched the river flow

We just watched the river flow

Every time

Every time I see a river

Takes me down to the valley

Every time

Every time I see a river

Takes me back to the valley

The valley below
