Take me down to the river
Take me down to the sea
Take me down to the riverbed, darling
So I can find some peace
I know the voice of my father
I hear it following me
I heard it calling my mother in dark days
I know that voice is the same
Hey-oh!
Hey-yeah!
I'm coming home
I see a light on that hilltop
I've got my shoes on my feet
I see the slough but I'm marching on over
I know that voice is the same
So tell my mama I'm coming
And tell my daddy too
Tell the others they're running the wrong way
Hey-oh!
Hey-yeah!
I'm coming home
