Peter Gabriel - Washing Of The Water Lyrics
River, river carry me onLiving river carry me onRiver, river carry me onTo the place where I come fromSo deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a rideIf I should fall, would you swallow me deep insideRiver, show me how to floatI feel like Im sinking downThought that I could get alongBut here in this waterMy feet wont touch the groundI need something to turn myself aroundGoing away, away towards the seaRiver deep, can you lift up and carry meOh roll on though the heartlandtil the sun has left the skyRiver, river carry me hightil the washing of the water make it all alrightLet your waters reach me like she reached me tonightLetting go, its so hardThe way its hurting nowTo get this love untiedSo tough to stay with thingcause if I follow throughI face what I deniedI get those hooks out of meAnd I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your sideKill that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hideRiver, oh river, river running deepBring me something that will let me get to sleepIn the washing of the water will you take it all awayBring me something to take this pain away
