Lyrics for Last Night I Went Out Walking

Last night I went out walking Out on the edge of town Not going no place special Only wandering around I came upon a river I thought about what you said And couldn't stop it flowing And running through my head You said that I've been changing And never seemed to laugh But I can't recall the last time you smiled And it's tearing me in half I want to run and tell youthe thoughts that are in my head But I don't think that you'd believe A single word I said The river's water runs so cool It calms my burning skin It takes away my aching thoughts And cleanses all my sin So let it flow on, take me down To sleep that quiet sleep And roll my body back to you My love you may always keep
