[1] I went to the river but the river was dry.
The dust rolled up into my eyes.
I was blinded by the stars so [deep (blue?)]
That I may lose my soul to keep.

[2] So come and stand in that river, current gentle and slow.
Send your troubles down water down on that water's flow.

[3] When you stand in that river, angels sing in your head/hand(?)
(word here I can't make out--might be 'and' pronounced 'end')it's beyond ev'ry worry, dreams beyond ev'ry bend

[Repeat part 2 twice.]
