D-DU-UDU
Come down mighty river and flow through the land
Come fill every dry well and break and every dam
Come smash through the stone walls that hold back your blood
Come fill in the garden, the valley, the grove
Come down blessed shepherd theres wolves in the pen
They're tearing to pieces the littlest lambs
You wait on the ridge come watch over the folk
Cause theres dogs in the night and they bite like the cold
I dont hear the trumpet call
I cant find all the suns in the sky
And I dont see the clouds roll back like a scroll
OoooOOooo
Come down lonely harlot locked high in the hills
Youve seen signs and wonders but never the thrills
Of knowing the touch of her hand by the dawn
Or giving as much as you can to a son
Come down to the water come down to the road
