Lyrics Going to the River to Pray - Robin Berrygold

Going to the River to Pray

I keep going to the river
I keep going to the river to pray
Yes, I need something that can wash out the pain
and at most, I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
My friends have you figured out
The only soul that’s inside of you
Is trying hard to be another you
But your evil is coming through
These eyes sitting on the wall
Well they watch every move I make
Bright light taking in the shade
You go hard, makes my spirit shake
Oooh
I have to go through hell to prove I’m not insane
Have to meet the devil just to know his name
That’s when my love was burning
and it’s still burning
I keep going to the river to pray
Yes, I need something that can wash out the pain
and at most, I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
Yes, I need something that can wash out the pain
and at most, I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
Each time that I think you’re gone
I turn around and you’re coming in
and I let you under my skin
'Cause I love living in the sin
Oh you never told me
True love was gonna hurt
True pain, its own dessert
Truth is that I never learned
I keep going to the river to pray
Yes, I need something that can wash out the pain
and at most, I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
Yes, I need something that can wash out the pain
and at most, I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
Give up the gho--oo-oost
Give up the gho-ost
Give up the ghost
Start the haunting baby
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Start the haunting baby
I keep going to the river
I keep going to the river to pray
Yes, I need something that can wash out the pain
and at most, I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
Yes, I need something that can wash out the pain
I keep going to the river to pray
Yes, I need something that can wash out the pain
and at most, I’m sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake
