Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Down By The River
Some of the lyrics are demonstrably wrong, not surprising since it was evidently transcribed by someone who's native language is not English. Wish I could do half as well in German!

In verse one, it should be "lit a fire" not "little fire". In verse two, "strangest sight" not "strangest side". In the last verse "reeds will wilt", not "region wilt" and "clean white skull" instead of "clean white stone".

That was quicker than typing it all out, anyway! Especially since my HTML skills are still crap.
