Goin’ Down

I’m goin’ down (Goin’ Down!), I’m goin’ down (Goin’ Down!)
I’m goin’ down to that old river’s edge (River’s Edge!)
Grab a glass of sparkling cheer, find my gal and bring her here,
we’re going down to the river’s edge

We’ll light a bonfire in the sand, make a circle holding hands, and dance until we all fall down
Hold a grape between your teeth and feed it sweet to me, a kiss to put a smile on that frown
We can celebrate ’til dawn, tell the sun it’s finally won, and it’s coming on back home with a song
Here on out it’s getting brighter, and higher in the sky, and we wait a little longer ’til it’s gone

I’m goin’ down (Goin’ Down!), I’m goin’ down (Goin’ Down!)
I’m goin’ down to that old river’s edge (River’s Edge)
Wear your fancy dress, I’ll wear my leather vest, we’re going down to the river’s edge

Let our toes squish up the mud, slip and slide a little some, but nothing’s going to change our celebration
Throw a log onto that fire, so it roars those flames up higher, praise the earth for the glory of creation
On the longest night of all, we’ll have ourselves a ball, awake to welcome glorious sensation
Say goodbye to darkest dark and put the sun into your heart, kiss the earth and grab another sweet libation

I’m goin’ down (Goin’ Down!), I’m goin’ down (Goin’ Down!)
I’m goin’ down to that old river’s edge (River’s Edge)
The wonder we behold moves deep into our souls and we come back out of dark feeling bles-sed
I’m goin’ down (Goin’ Down!), I’m goin’ down (Goin’ Down!)
I’m goin’ down to that old river’s edge (River’s Edge)
Don’t forget to leave a note, so that everybody knows, we’re going down to the river’s edge
