There’s something in my heart And it feels like fire There's a yearnin’ in the river And it feels like home Take me down, take me down to the water I need time Give me time The old Shenandoah gonna keep me right And hold me like I was forgiven Take me down, and let the beachwood light I need time Give me time Tellin myself to keep good faith There ain’t much these days to celebrate Pullin’ my hoodie over my face I need time Give me time Take my name when I'm dead and gone And throw my ashes in the river Know that I lived my whole life long And gave all the love that I could’ve given
