River Anacostia Lyrics - The Hope Six Demolition Project - Pj Harvey

Oh my Anacostia 

Do not sigh, do not weep 

Beneath the overpass 

Your Savior's waiting patiently 

Walking on the water 

Flowing with the poisons 

From the naval yards 

He's talking to the fallen reeds 

Saying what will become of us? 

What will become of us? 

Oh 

Wade in the water 

God's gonna trouble the water 

A small red sun makes way for night 

Trails away like a tail light 

Is that Jesus on the water 

Talking to the fallen trees? 

Saying what will become of us? 

What will become of us? 

Oh 

Wade in the water, God's gonna trouble the water 

Wade in the water, God's gonna trouble the water 

Wade in the water, God's gonna trouble the water 

What will become if God's gonna trouble waters? 

What will become if God's gonna trouble waters? 

What will become if God's gonna trouble waters? 

Wade in the water, God's gonna trouble the water 

Wade in the water, God's gonna trouble the water 

Wade in the water, God's gonna trouble the water 

Wade in the water 

God's gonna trouble the water
