[Verse 1]
There's something in my heart
It  feels like fire
And  there's a yearnin' in the river
It feels like home
Take me down, take me down to the water

[Chorus]
I  need time
Give  me time

[Verse 2]
The old Shenandoah gonna keep me right
And  hold me like I was forgiven
Take me down, and let the beachwood light

[Chorus]
I need time
Give me time

[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh-ooh 
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
Tellin' myself to keep good faith
There ain't much these days to celebrate
Pullin' my hoodie over my face

[Chorus]
I need time
Give me time

[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 4]
Take my name when I'm dead and gone
And throw my ashes in the river
Know that I lived my whole life long
And gave all the love that I could've given

[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
