Lyrics The River - Manchester Orchestra

The River

I fought the spirit with a sword in my side
Cheat… what a way out
Crack my rib, wait to die
I think I know you best when I sleep
I think I know everything
Me and my brothers, we have tongues sharp as knives
I found a way out, make a noise, close your eyes
I think I talk to you best when I sing
I sing about almost everything
Oh God I need it
So let me see again
Take me to the river
And let me see again
Oh my God
Let me see again
Oh my God
Let me see again
Let me see again
Grace taught a debtor
Daily I’m strained to be
God how I feel it
Fetter pride to your feet
I’m gonna leave you the first chance I get
I’m gonna leave you the first chance I get
I’m gonna leave you the first chance I get
I’m gonna leave you the first chance I get
Oh God I need it
I was wrong again
Take me to the river
And make me clean again
Oh my God
Make me clean again
And oh my God
Let me see again
