Washing of the Water
River, river, carry me onLiving river, carry me onRiver, river, carry me onTo the place where I come from
So deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a rideIf I should fall, would you swallow me deep inside
River, show me how to floatI feel like I'm sinking downThought that I could get alongBut here in this waterMy feet won't touch the groundI need something to turn myself around
Going away, away towards the seaRiver deep, can you lift up and carry meOh roll on though the heartland'Til the sun has left the skyRiver, river carry me high'Til the washing of the water make it all alrightLet your waters reach me like she reached me tonight
Letting go, it's so hardThe way it's hurting nowTo get this love untiedSo tough to stay with this thing'Cause if I follow throughI face what I deniedI get those hooks out of meAnd I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your sideKill that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hide
River, oh river, river running deepBring me something that will let me get to sleepIn the washing of the water will you take it all awayBring me something to take this pain away
