One two three four

Ride out the storm take on the wave
Don't run, run, run
The wind's gonna blow and the ground's gonna shake
Then it's gone, gone, gone

If I ask you tenderly
Will you follow me down to the river?
I'll let you down, I'll break your wings
If you follow me down to the river

Try not to mourn shake off the pain
Don't run, run, run
The world's gonna spin and the earth's gonna quake
Then it's done, done, done

If I ask you tenderly
Will you follow me down to the river?
I'll let you down, I'll break your wings
If you follow me down to the river

(Follow me down to the river)
Follow me down to the river
(Follow me down to the river)
Follow me down to the river
(Follow me down to the river)
Follow me down to the river

I've got it all, all ahead of me now
A pattern's gonna form
And the wind's gonna blow me down

Ride out the storm take on the wave
Don't run, run, run
The wind's gonna blow and the crowd's gonna break
Then it's gone, gone, gone

If I ask you tenderly
Will you follow me down to the river?
I'll let you down, I'll break your wings
If you follow me down to the river

(Follow me down to the river)
Follow me down to the river
(Follow me down to the river)
Follow me down to the river
(Follow me down to the river)
Follow me down to the river
