Went down to the coastline for nearly forty days

Strangled by the sun, but I never lost my way

Went down to the coastline

Lord, I nearly lost my mind

I keep walkin' on pretty baby, never look behind



Until I

Come and go day by day

Troubles keep gettin' farther and farther away

Come and go day by day



Went down to the riverside

Lord, I nearly drowned

You took me by the hand, led me to higher ground

That's why I love you, I always told you so

Walk another mile with me baby, I'll never let you go



Now but still I

Come and go day by day

Troubles keep gettin' farther and farther away

Come and go day by day



I ask you onlooker, "Do you think my pride is just?"

To stop will be the death of me, go on I must

I ask you onlooker "Do you think this pain is small?"

I look back on the problems now

They weren't even there at all
