Lyrics

When you're down on your knees in the alley
When you're flat on your back on the floor
When that sweet summer breeze from the valley
Wont roll and tumble past your door
When you think it over
When you have some time to kill:
The river may rise from where the river bed lies
Right up to the top of this hill.
