Muddy Magnolias // Down by the Riverside

Dennis Edwards:I would change the words of the song and make it Theistic rather than Pantheistic. But as it is it is very pantheistic and embracs the New Age theology of a "god" energy in all nature. With some Biblical lyrics it could be a great Christian song.

Down by the Riverside Lyrics

Calling to the night
To the rhythm in the sky
I'll be dancing in the dark
Down by the riverside

Bounded by the moon
I’ll be waiting in the blues
Won't you lay your harvest down
Right down by the riverside

On the edges of the banks
I found the hiding place
Oh water tell me what you know
On the edges of the pain
I wash it all away
And I cry out to the tide
Down by the riverside

Cast away my heavy load
Lay it down by the willow grove
Muddy water heals my soul
Down by the riverside

Gonna rest my burdens down

Fixed upon that starry crown

Angels singing all around

Down by the riverside

On the edges of the banks
I found the hiding place
Oh water tell me what you know
On the edges of the pain
I wash it all away
And I cry out to the tide
Down by the riverside

Calling to the night
To the rhythm in the sky
We'll be dancing in the dark
Down by the riverside

On the edges of the banks
I found the hiding place
Oh water tell me what you know
On the edges of the pain
I wash it all away
And I cry out to the tide
Down by the riverside
I find a peace of mind
Down by the riverside
I made it out alive
Down by the riverside
