the river

I'm knee deep in the river And all I smell is blood But I don't mind pretending In this never-ending flood You can take my burdens (Lord) Lord if you hear me I'm done Take me home I'm neck neep in the river My body starts to shake My spirit starts to shiver as my soul begins to wake And I won't fear the reaper If you don't fear him either (Lord) Lord, if you hear me I'm done Take me home Lord, if you hear me I'm done Take me home I won't fear the reaper If you don't fear him either All my prayers are secrets But this one here's a keeper No one can stop the river Lord, if you hear me I'm done Take me home Lord, if you hear me I'm done Take me home

You are my river keep on flowing through You are my river keep on flowing through Filling my life with all of you You are the freedom I've been searching for You are the freedom I've been searching for That's why I love you just for who you are?

You are my river, keep on flowing You are my river, keep on flowing You are my river Oh yeah, keep on flowing Would you keep on flowing? River, flowing river Just just keep on flowing Just just keep on flowing Just just keep on flowing

It's coming on Christmas They cutting down trees Putting up reindeers Singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on But it don't snow here It's stays pretty green I'm gonna make a lot of money Gonna quit this crazy scene I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had river I could skate away on I made my baby cry She tried hard to help me She put me at ease She loved me some more It make me weak in the knees Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad I'm gonna lost the best baby that I've ever had I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye She's coming on christmas They cutting down trees Putting up reindeers Singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had river I could skate away on

Wandering high Wandering low Some people fly Some people don't I waited by the river For you to come I wanted to put all of myself Where you had gone I pulled off my stockings And waded through the shallow pools Watched tiny bumps creep over my limbs And wondered if I'd lost or won I rolled around inside your skin Then looked at what I'd done A little angel all pressed in She's left behind her soul and run Wandering high Wandering low Some people fly Some people won't

(Hold your hands) Hold your hands onto your chest And tell me what you find Out of you, a sparrow comes And sees without its eyes Don't forget who you are even though you are hurt You are caught in a wire and soon it will burst You can cry Drinking your eyes Do you miss the sadness when it's gone? And you let the river run wild And you let the river run wild I am a shadow, I am cold And now I seek for warmth Stitch your skin on to my skin And we won't be alone Don't forget who you are even though you're in need Like a bird in the night, your emotions deserve to be freed You can cry Drinking your eyes Do you miss the sadness when it's gone? And you let the river run wild And you let the river run wild You can cry (You can cry, you can cry) Drinking your eyes I don't miss the sadness when it's gone And the feeling of it makes me smile As I let the river run wild You can cry, you can cry, you can cry To where the ocean is bigger Become a part of the river You can cry, you can cry, you can cry Can you let the river run wild? You can cry (You can cry, you can cry, you can cry) Drinking your eyes Do you miss the sadness when it's gone? (You can cry, you can cry, you can cry) And you let the river run wild As you let the river run wild You can cry (You can cry, you can cry) Drinking your eyes (To where the ocean is bigger) I don't miss the sadness when it's gone And the feeling of it makes me smile As I let the river run wild You can cry Drinking your eyes Do you miss the sadness when it's gone? And you let the river run wild And you let the river run wild
