Washing Of The Water |
| River, river, carry me on |
| Living river, carry me on |
| River, river, carry me on |
| To the place where I come from |
| So deep, so wide |
| Will you take me on your back for a ride? |
| If I should fall |
| Would you swallow me deep inside? |
| River, show me how to float |
| I feel like I’m sinking down |
| Thought that I could get along |
| But here in this water |
| My feet won’t touch the ground |
| I need something to turn myself around |
| Going away, away toward the sea |
| River deep |
| Can you lift up and carry me? |
| Oh, roll on through the heartland |
| Until the sun has left the sky |
| River, river, carry me high |
| 'Til the washing of the water |
| Make it all alright |
| Let your waters reach me |
| Like she reached me tonight |
| Letting go, it’s so hard |
| The way it’s hurting now |
| To get this love untied |
| So tough to stay with this thing |
| 'Cause if I follow through |
| I face what I deny |
| I get those hooks out of me |
| And I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side |
| Kill that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hide |
| River, oh, river |
| River running deep |
| Bring me something |
| That will let me get to sleep |
| In the washing of the water |
| Will you take it all away? |
| Bring me something |
| To take this pain away |
