Washing Of The Water Lyrics - Us - 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, 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

So 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 your side 

Kill that fear of emptiness, 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
