Washing Of The Water Lyrics - Kurt Elling

River, river carry me home 

Livin' river carry me home 

River, river carry me home 

To the place where I come from 

So deep, so wide 

Will you take me on your back for a ride? 

And if I should fall 

Would you swallow me deep inside? 

River, teach me how to flow 

'cause I feel like I'm sinking down 

I thought that I could get along 

But here in this water 

My feet won't touch the ground 

Now I need something 

To turn myself around

Oo and away 

Away toward the sea 

River deep 

Could you lift up and carry me? 

Or roll on through the heartland 

Til the sun has left the sky? 

River, river carry me high 

Til the washing of the water 

Makes it all alright 

Let your water reach me 

Like she reached me tonight

Letting go 

It's so hard 

The way it's hurting now 

To get this love untied 

It's tough to stay with this thing 

'cause if I follow through 

I'll face what I've denied 

I'll get those hooks out of me 

And I'll take out the hooks 

That I've sunk deep in her side 

And kill that fear with emptiness 

And loneliness I hide 

River, oh river, river running deep 

Bring me something 

To help me get to sleep 

And in the washing of the water 

Will you take it all away 

And bring me something 

To take this pain away
