Washing Of The Water

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 Bring me something to take this pain away
