The River

VERSE The night gets too dark I don't know where you are But every sinner can reach the water's edge When love gets lost the water's too high to cross We're all beginners at the water's edge CHORUS Take me down take me down to the river Take me in take me in your arms forever Cause nobody knows who the river spares but everyone waits for unanswered prayers VERSE The hurt gets too deep and I'm down on my knees But I'll be delivered at the water's edge CHORUS Take me down take me down to the river Take me in take me in your arms forever Cause nobody knows who the river spares but everyone waits for unanswered prayers We all rage we all rage like the river There's no shame there's no shame in the river Wash me clean wash me clean in the river Cause nobody knows who the river spares but everyone waits for unanswered prayers --- The River - Julie Mintz
