River Blues

I'll follow the river to its source Where the river winds I'm changing course A fool am I to wander far and wide I'll remain in sight and along her side Leave goodness be It does not need correction It's so unwise to fall for What will not return affection What will crush the wayward heart our foolishness pursues What hurts the soul the soul adores How we love to sing the blues Nothing I desire but to follow where it flows From the mouth of the river springs the wisdom of the Lord I can hear your voice the one without end I'm a natural perennial I'm born again Leave goodness be It does not need correction It's so unwise to fall for What will not return affection What will crush the wayward heart our foolishness pursues What hurts the soul the soul adores How we love to sing the blues I'm done with the past that held me in debt Looking out for what I haven't seen or heard of yet There's nothing new under the sun What will become yesterday will become yesterday Once tomorrow comes Leave goodness be It does not need correction It's so unwise to fall for What will not return affection What will crush the wayward heart our foolishness pursues What hurts the soul the soul adores How we love to sing the blues What hurts the soul the soul adores How we love to sing the blues
