-------------  Listen to the sound of the night bird singin'  I wonder who he calls  My fingers hurt so bad, it's got me grinnin'  And I wonder can I do it all  Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushing ragin' river  Looking out for boulders and falls  A woman she watches from the top of the canyon  Hopin' we don't drown us all  Help me now, I got to slow down  Hear my singin' call  Hurt myself bad on a run through the desert  Threw a shoe and took a bad fall  Long for the peace that the ancients bring me  Murmur of the lowlands shut my jaw  Help me now, I got to slow down  Hear my singin' call  Everyone knows there's a price for the askin'  Some people buy themselves a doll  Help me, sweet Jesus  I'm weary from the journey  I need to tell my brothers what I saw  Help me now, I got to slow down  Hear my singin' call
