There's something in my heart, it feels like fire And there's a yearning in the river, and it feels like home And 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 beach wood light I need time Give me time Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh ♪ Telling myself to keep good faith There ain't much these days to celebrate Pulling my hoodie over my face I need time Give me time Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh ♪ 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 Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh
