Lyrics

[00:04.32] River, river carry me on
[00:08.08] Living river carry me on
[00:12.01] River, river carry me on
[00:15.87] To the place where I come from
[00:20.18] So deep, so wide will you take me on your back for a ride
[00:35.51] If I should fall would you swallow me deep inside
[00:51.18] River, show me how to float
[00:58.86] I feel like I'm sinking down
[01:06.85] Thought that I could get along
[01:14.67] But here in this water
[01:18.56] My feet won't touch the ground
[01:22.78] I need something to turn myself around
[01:32.46] Going away, away toward the sea
[01:47.83] River deep, can you lift up and carry me
[02:04.93] Oh roll on though the heartland
[02:10.40] 'Til the sun has left the sky
[02:18.93] River, river carry me high
[02:26.36] 'Til the washing of the water make it all alright
[02:34.42] Let your waters reach me like she reached me tonight
[02:41.96] Letting go, it's so hard
[02:45.52] The way it's hurting now
[02:48.32] To get this love untied
[02:51.26] So tough to stay with thing
[02:53.75] 'Cause if I follow through
[02:56.04] I face what I denied
[02:59.10] I get those hooks out of me
[03:01.77] And I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side
[03:06.62] Kill that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hide
[03:13.50] River, oh river, river running deep
[03:21.29] Bring me something that will let me get to sleep
[03:29.12] In the washing of the water will you take it all away
[03:37.24] Bring me something to take this pain away
