Strophe:

a d G C e

I listened and suffered to a cold night4s warning,

a d G C e

I4ve never walked closer to the edge of the dawning.

F d G

Every step that I take could carry me homeward,

F G a

Every step that I take could carry me homeward.



Strophe:

Now that I4m falling, I wash away my sorrows,

Down by the river with my face in the cold wind.



Refrain:

F d G

Why don4t you pray for me?

F G a

Why don4t you pray for me?



Strophe:

The violent whispers they are trying to wake me,

Now they condemn me down by the river.
