Riverbend
Riverside Reflections: Finding Redemption Amidst the Flood
Lyrics
I stumbled to the water's edge
I approached the water's edge
Saw the bridges in the crest
Observed the bridges in the crest
Waited for the flood to come in
Waited for a flood to arrive
And wash away another sin
Anticipated it to cleanse away another wrongdoing
I heard my mama cry
Heard my mother weep
She's leavin town tonight
She's leaving town tonight
And as the flood came in
As the flood approached
I sat down by the riverbend
I settled beside the riverbend
I waited as the water rose
Waited while the water level increased
Once it reached my toes
Once it touched my toes
I went home to pack a bag or two
Went home to pack a bag or two
I took a shot or few
Took a shot or few (possibly referring to alcohol)
When 4 horses crossed my path
Encountered four horses on my path
I wasn't a religious man
Despite not being religious
But as I made my out of town
As I left town
It made me raise a brow
It surprised me or caught my attention
I thought
Reflecting on the situation
"Well damn, ain't that grand again?"
Expressing amazement or astonishment
And when the flood came in
When the flood arrived
I sat down by the riverbend
I settled by the riverbend
I thought
Reflecting on the situation
"Well damn, ain't that grand again?"
Expressing amazement or astonishment
And when the flood came in
When the flood arrived
I found myself a riverbend
I found myself at a riverbend
I thought
Reflecting on the situation
"Well damn, ain't that grand again?"
Expressing amazement or astonishment
And when the flood came in
When the flood arrived
I sat down by the riverbend
I settled by the riverbend
I thought
Reflecting on the situation
"Well damn, ain't that grand again?"
Expressing amazement or astonishment
And when the flood came in
When the flood arrived
I found myself a riverbend
I found myself at a riverbend
I stumbled to the water's edge
I approached the water's edge
Saw the bridges in the crest
Observed the bridges in the crest
Waited for the flood to come in
Waited for a flood to arrive
And wash away another sin
Anticipated it to cleanse away another wrongdoing
I heard my mama cry
Heard my mother weep
She's leavin town tonight
She's leaving town tonight
And as the flood came in
As the flood approached
I sat down by the riverbend
I settled beside the riverbend
I thought
Reflecting on the situation
"Well damn, ain't that grand again?"
Expressing amazement or astonishment
And when the flood came in
When the flood arrived
I sat down by the riverbend
I settled by the riverbend
I thought
Reflecting on the situation
"Well damn, ain't that grand again?"
Expressing amazement or astonishment
And when the flood came in
When the flood arrived
I found myself a riverbend
I found myself at a riverbend
