Lyrics:
Piano By The River

da sawed-off Shots to ya neck what's left get hauled off Got 'em shot 'em bullets bouncin' Losin' blood by da ounces Momma cryin' up a river when da

the city goes Huck Down the beckonin' streets of opportunity And a whistling his favorite river song And a bad blind nigger at the piano Puts a sinister

And I'm sittin', sittin' at the top of the stairs And you're cryin' out on the towpath by the river With all the swans and all the people walking by

Far across deep blue water lives an old German's daughter By the banks of the old River Rhine Where I loved her and left her but I can't forget her Cause

. Strings in the earth and the air make music sweet strings by the river where the willows meet there's music along the river for love wanders there

goes by andchanges everything I left so many things behind me My favorite things I took away Were my memories and my dreams Everything I rode would fly In the woods by the river

you been gone 'Beat out one, boy' (instrumental & guitar) I'm gonna build me scaffold Down by Red River Dam I'm gonna build me scaffold Down by Red River

swell and the bodies that break we'll just float down the river. Stay tame, soft river, while we weigh our faith, stay sweet, run softly, sweet river,

(4:40) Written by Stephen Stills and Graham Nash (c) 1990 Gold Hill Music (ASCAP) Well it's high time you realize that I must live my life as it surrounds
