I shivered and listened  To a cold nights warning  I've never walked closer  To the edge of the dawning  Every step that I take  Could carry me homeward  They used to pray for me  They knew that I was falling  I'll wash away my sorrows  Down by the river  Put my face in the cold wind  Won't you pray  Oh won't you pray for me  I have fallen  Oh won't you pray for me    This violent whispers  Were trying to take me  They knew that I would go  But now they forsake me  I'll wash away my sorrows  Down by the river  Put my face in the cold wind  Won't you pray  Oh won't you pray for me  I have fallen  Oh won't you pray for me
