The River (Live) by Bruce Springsteen

...
I come from down in the valley
Where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do
Like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
(Oh oh) down to the river we'd ride

(Oh oh) down to the river we'd ride

And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now the memories come (5)________ to haunt me
They (6)__________ me like a curse
Is a (7)__________ a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
(Oh oh) (8)________ to the river tonight
...
Down to the river
My (9)________ and I
(Oh oh) down to the river we ride
