Washing of
the Water
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, 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 though the heartland
'Til the sun has left the sky
River, river carry me high
'Til the washing of the water will 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 though
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.
Peter Gabriel, So
