lyrics

Don’t tell me things are gonna change
It’s been a long lonely time
That I've felt this way

Dark clouds
they are parting
Still I don’t see no sun
So don’t tell me a change is gonna come

Oh take me to the river
And hold me down
For if there ain’t no sunshine then I’d rather drown

I’ve been so alone
Standing in the middle of the crowd
Don’t they know that the lost can’t really be found

And you just say, "Go to the river, why don't you go now
and get yourself all washed clean"
I wanna go but I’m too dirty for these eyes to see

Oh take me to the river
And hold me down
Fill my lungs with water turned filthy brown

How can I ever pay
For the things that I can’t change
I’ve been wrong, oh so wrong
Wont you hurt me, hold me underground
Til they forget my name

I need somebody
I need someone to show me the way
I need a fire by night and a cloud by day

Take me to the river
And hold me down
Lift me up, oh lift me up
I gotta hear the sound
The sound of the river
A river flowing strong
It's the sound of tears of heaven
Flowing down
