Lyrics

[00:04.08] River, river carry me on
[00:08.00] Living river carry me on
[00:11.91] River, river carry me on
[00:15.73] To the place where I come from
[00:19.77] So deep, so wide will you take me on your back for a ride
[00:35.36] If I should fall would you swallow me deep inside
[00:51.15] River, show me how to float
[00:58.67] I feel like I'm sinking down
[01:06.59] Thought that I could get along
[01:14.38] But here in this water
[01:18.33] My feet won't touch the ground
[01:22.59] I need something to turn myself around
[01:32.40] Going away, away toward the sea
[01:47.57] River deep, can you lift up and carry me
[02:04.61] Oh roll on through the heartland
[02:10.36] 'Til the sun has left the sky
[02:18.75] River, river carry me high
[02:26.30] 'Til the washing of the water make it all alright
[02:34.46] Let your waters reach me like she reached me tonight
[02:41.86] Letting go, it's so hard
[02:45.17] The way it's hurting now
[02:48.14] To get this love untied
[02:51.13] So tough to stay with thing
[02:53.55] 'Cause if I follow through
[02:55.85] I face what I denied
[02:58.79] I get those hooks out of me
[03:01.53] And I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side
[03:06.50] Kill that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hide
[03:13.33] River, oh river, river running deep
[03:21.24] Bring me something that will let me get to sleep
[03:29.22] In the washing of the water will you take it all away
[03:36.95] Bring me something to take this pain away
