Dosewalips River Love Song

By Gretchen Sleicher

Lyrics

Part 1

I will lay me down by the river
I will lay me down and rest
I will lay me down by the river
And know the world is blessed

Part 2

Lay me down by the water's edge
Lay me down and know I'm blessed

Part 3

Water heal me with your song
Whisper love poems all night long

Part 4

Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling through me
Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling through me

Notes

What would it be like if we could open to the possibility that a river can heal us, can whisper love poems to us all night long? What if we treated the world as a lover? This song came down the Dosewalips River as a healing balm and opened up a deeper knowing of this sweet reality. If you listen closely you will hear the happy whistling of the water ouzel!
