Washing of the Water - Kurt Elling

作曲：Peter Gabriel

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 teach me how to float

Cause I feel like I'm sinking down

I 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 toward 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

It's 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 her side

Kill that fear of emptiness loneliness I hide

River oh river river running deep

Bring me something that help me get to sleep

In the washing of the water will you take it all away

Bring me something to take this pain away
