In September the sun rakes over the pond |
| [00:25] |
Just like a farmer rakes over the ground |
| [00:33] |
Like it's searching for something that swims down below |
| [00:42] |
To haul up and carry on home |
| [00:50] |
Mama told me that he lived here out past the grove |
| [00:59] |
Sometimes she rode that old pickup he drove |
| [01:07] |
When she passes that spot and looks to the west |
| [01:16] |
She touches her hand to her breast |
| [01:25] |
Heaven forbid they find him down there |
| [01:34] |
Breathing in water like we breathe the air |
| [01:42] |
Heaven's forgot him and left him to roam |
| [01:51] |
The watery halls all alone |
| [02:01] |
Annie Green said she saw him out there today |
| [02:10] |
Silver ring flashing as he turned away |
| [02:18] |
Those long auburn curls billowing slow |
| [02:27] |
The poor boy who lives down below |
| [02:36] |
Heaven forbid they find him down there |
| [02:44] |
Breathing in water like we breathe the air |
| [02:53] |
Heaven's forgot him and left him to roam |
| [03:01] |
The watery halls all alone |
| [03:12] |
He makes his bed where the Riverman sleeps |
| [03:21] |
He lays his head five fathoms deap |
| [03:29] |
He wanders the shoals where bottom weeds grow |
| [03:38] |
The poor boy who lives down below |
| [03:46] |
Heaven forbid they find him down there |
| [03:55] |
Breathing in water like we breathe the air |
| [04:03] |
Heaven's forgot him and left him to roam |
| [04:12] |
The watery halls all alone |
| [04:22] |
The watery halls all alone |
