Down to the River

I went down to the river
 Blowing out onto the sea
 On my way to the ocean
 Let the spirit swallow me
 I got low down in the water
 I let the current guide my bones
 I got nine kinds of trouble
 I'm just trying to find my way home
 Over 20 some years of living
 And a thousand wasted days
 I have loved a lot of women
 Many times I've gone wrong ways
 And I came down to the water
 For a dip to cleanse my soul
 They keep tellin' me that I'm just a babe
 But baby, why do I feel so old?
 This is the verge of a breakthrough
 It's a fine line that cannot be bent
 And I felt like a river ran dry
 But I don't know where all the rainwater went
 And I believe we were all dead or dying
 But I see different in the blue light
 There is no such thing as a dawn or dusk
 It's daylight until it is night
 You gotta fight through the dimming
 You gotta run into the west
 You gotta rage against the dying of the light
 Live for the moment that's left
 You gotta fight against your demons
 You gotta run into the west
 You gotta rage against the dying of the light
 Live for the moment that's left
 'Cause there is no such thing as a dying man
 We're alive 'til the moment we're dead
 And a drowning man is just a living man
 Who hasn't run out of his last bit of breath
