Karaoké Washing of the Water Peter Gabriel

River, river

Carry me on

River, 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 show me how to float

I feel like I'm sinking down

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 through the heartland 'till the sun has left the sky

River

River

Carry me high

'Till 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 out of me

And I'll take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side

Kill that fear of emptiness

That loneliness I hide

River

Oh river

River running deep

Bring me something that will let me get to sleep

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

Bring me something to take this pain away
