CHAKA KHAN - Roll Me Through The Rushes lyrics

rate me

Roll me through the rushes like Moses

Roll me through the rushes just like Moses

Roll me through the rushes like Moses

Guide me to the new woman who waits

Current, leave me on the banks

By the cottage

Where we will dine with silver cups

And golden plates

Roll me through the rushes like Moses

Roll me through the rushes just like Moses

I've prepared for my last journey

You know I've worked all my life

To make this basket strong

But a woman alone on a river

She can't stay in the water too long

I've been chilled, I've lost my will

And I've stayed away from rivers

Much too long

I really must stay in this dirty dirty city

Till I found out that my strength was gone

Roll me through the rushes like Moses

Roll me through the rushes just like Moses

Just like Moses

Make my journey, make it short in space

Let me lose this hardness that I got now, Lord

Water, wash away all traces of hate

I will do what you say

If you just show me how, river

Roll me through the rushes like Moses

Roll me through the rushes just like Moses

Roll me through the rushes like Moses

Roll me through the rushes

Just like Moses on the Nile

River, river (sail)

River, river (sail)

River, river (sail)

River, river (sail)
