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 Im sinking down
Thought that I could get along
But here in this water, my feet wont 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
Til 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, its so hard, the way its hurting now
To get this love untied
So tough to stay with this thing, â??cos if I follow through
I face what I denied
Ill get those hooks out of me
And Ill take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side
Kill that fear of emptiness, that 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
