Washing Of The Water by Peter Gabriel


River, river, carry on
Living river, carry on
River, river, carry on
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, show me how float, I feel like I'm sinking down
Thought I could get along
But here this water, 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 through 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
So tough to stay with this thing, 'cos if I follow through
I face what I denied
I'll get those hooks of
And I'll take the hooks I sunk deep your side
fear of emptiness, loneliness I hide
River, oh river, river running deep
Bring something will let get sleep
the washing of the water will you take it all away
Bring something take this pain away
