Swore he heard her cry

Walk down by the river

Hey, Joe
You're taking on a big, big thing
You say there's people in the sky
Hey, Joe

She's gone where you can't go

Hey, Joe
You're taking on a big, big thing
You say there's people in the sky
Hey, Joe
Remember what you said, Joe
You say

C'mon, Joe
C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, Joe
C'mon

Hey, Joe
You're taking on a big, big thing
Hey, Joe
You're taking on a big, big thing
Hey, Joe
You're taking on a big, big thing
Hey, Joe
You're taking on a big, big thing
Hey, Joe
You're taking on a big, big thing
