Sun is low makes a fire in the sky
And the river is rising, it's getting high
I can feel it raging building like a storm rolls like thunder
Slow and steady tearing through and turning under
These old mountains watching over this place
Beauty and heartache and memories
Running through my veins
Like a river every day
But I, I won't let this fire stop burning
I won't let the dark bring me down
When it comes to pass, we'll all keep turning
In this river town
In this river town
Well these crowds they come
Some stay most go
Lonely roads, rivers don't flow
And the smell of woodsmoke hangs still in the air
Cold wind blows and you, you know it's home
I won't let this fire stop burning
I won't let the dark bring me down
When it comes to pass we'll all keep turning
In this river town
In this river town
No I, I won't let this fire stop burning
No I won't let the dark bring me down
When it comes to pass we'll all keep turning
In this river town
In this river town
