Lyrics
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
Lay me down by the water's edge
Lay me down and know I'm blessed
Water heal me with your song
Whisper love poems all night long
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!
