[Verse 2]
I said, sometime around midnight,
They've come knocking at my door.
I said, sometime around midnight
Hellhounds found what they're 
looking for
Those flashin' lights tell me,
Didn't have to say a word.
Someone took my baby,
Someone took away my world.
All they found was a letter
I should'a never let her go
The river's the only witness
The only one who knows

And the wind whispers her name
And all those lonesome years

Down by the river
I see my life in the flames
Down by the river, honey
I call out your name, yeah
