Down By The River

(Will Pacheco)

"Down By The River" is a dark, short story about two people so incredibly in love living in a small town. It represents a die hard love, literally. The story starts when two young people meet, and this boy is so incredibly infatuated with this girl that he would do anything for her, so when she asks him to help her commit a crime, he does so. Once caught they began to run away from their town down to the river that separated once town from another. Little did he know, this entire time she had been plotting to kill him.

(Verse 1)
Down by the river
They ran away 
From the lives they built
From the people that begged them to stay 

Down by the river 
She told him “it’s gonna be okay
Take my hand 
And I’ll help you wash away”

(Chorus)
He told him he loved her
what a mistake 
He saw the truth 
Get away from you 

(Verse 2) 
Down by the river
He looked so scared
She was fearless 
What’s in her hand? 

Down by the river
She told him to look away 
That all they’ve done will be forgiven 
If she cuts you away 

(Chorus) 
He told him he loved her 
What a mistake 
He saw the truth 
Get away from you

(Verse 3) 
Down by the river
She took his hand 
He lied awake 
Deep in the sand

Down by the river 
He lied in his grave 
That she made for him
With sand on his face
