PETER GABRIEL - Washing Of The Water lyrics

rate me

River, river carry me on<br>Living river carry me on<br>River, river carry me on<br>To the place where I come from<br><br>So deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a ride<br>If I should fall, would you swallow me deep inside<br><br>River, show me how to float<br>I feel like I'm sinking down<br>Thought that I could get along<br>But here in this water<br>My feet won't touch the ground<br>I need something to turn myself around<br><br>Going away, away towards the sea<br>River deep, can you lift up and carry me<br>Oh roll on though the heartland<br>'til the sun has left the sky<br>River, river carry me high<br>'til the washing of the water make it all alright<br>Let your waters reach me like she reached me tonight<br><br>Letting go, it's so hard<br>The way it's hurting now<br>To get this love untied<br>So tough to stay with thing<br>'cause if I follow through<br>I face what I denied<br>I get those hooks out of me<br>And I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side<br>Kill that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hide<br><br>River, oh river, river running deep<br>Bring me something that will let me get to sleep<br>In the washing of the water will you take it all away<br>Bring me something to take this pain away
