Water Song Mary Elizabeth Remington

If the stars don't shine tonight and the sun decide not to rise
You bet your little ear one won't be hearin' me cry
Holy waters will always run, the waters will always run
The waters always running, catch it if you can

I went down to the river, I went down to the river
I went down to the river and the water was gone

I put my pole in that river, I put my pole in that river
I went fishing in that river and caught pebbles in the sand

I bring those pebbles home with me and I put 'em in a pan
Heat up those pebbles and I eat what I can

When I go down to the river and the water is cold
I look to them stars and I see them still glowing

When I went down to the river, when I went down to the pond
I went over to that ocean and that ocean was gone

And I went down for the water to listen for a sound
And I hadn't heard nothing but the lightning
In them clouds

If the stars don't shine tonight and the sun decide not to rise
You bet your little ear one won't be hearin' me cry
Holy waters will always run, the waters will always run
The waters always running, catch it if you can
