[Verse 1]
Put out the candle
Take off your robe
And I’ll take you to that river
Where the living waters flow
Outside it’s cold and raining
And this old church is warm
So there ain’t no need to hurryin'
On that long and final march

[Chorus]
Because it’s gonna be a long, long time to winter
But it’s gonna be a longer time to spring
So I can’t imagine why
You are leaving here tonight
With that cold October rain in your eye
With that cold October rain in your eye

[Verse 2]
Put down your rifle
You can take off your sword
There ain’t no need in dyin'
If you don’t know what for
I don’t offer you money
I just offer my time
And the One Who diеd forgiving
To bring You peace of mind
[Chorus]
Becausе it’s gonna be a long, long time to winter
But it’s gonna be a longer time to spring
So I can’t imagine why
You are leaving here tonight
With that cold October rain in your eye
With that cold October rain in your eye

[Chorus]
Because it’s gonna be a long, long time to winter
But it’s gonna be a longer time to spring
So I can’t imagine why
You are leaving here tonight
With that cold October rain in your eye
With that cold October rain in your eye
With that cold October rain in your eye
With that cold October rain in your eye
