I invite the blues to come around
When I get knocked to the ground
Let the river rage on by and the wind blow
I put on the saddest song ignore the telephone
Touch the bottom of the pool
If you pay your dues in darkness, you'll appreciate the light
Let the river rage on by and the wind blow
I let my mind play tricks and then
'Cause a deep down low makes level feel so high
So, don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go
'Cause a deep down low makes level feel so high
Into thinkin' that I'll never be alright
Then when I'm no longer crazy
Let yourself go under
Ain't it strange and don't you wonder
I kept endin' up in that forbidden place
I go ahead and cry the make-up from my eyes
I let it fool me once again
If you pay your dues in darkness, you'll appreciate the light
I'm a happy woman but
If you pay your dues in darkness, you'll appreciate the light
I realize how good I've always felt
How you always come back up and it's so cool
'Cause a deep down low makes level feel so high
Let the river rage on by and the wind blow
Well I did that for a while but it just was not my style
So, don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go
And I'm back to my old self
So, don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go
