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 I´m sinking down Thought that I could get along But here in this water My feet won´t touch the ground I need something to turn myself around
Going away, away towards the sea River deep, can you lift up and carry me Oh roll on though 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, it´s so hard The way it´s hurting now To get this love untied So tough to stay with thing ´Cause if I follow through I face what I denied I get those hooks out of me And I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side Kill that fear of emptiness, 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
