...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 towards the sea

...river deep,
...can you lift up and carry me?
...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
