Take me to the river
Take me to the river
The black haze is soaking in
I can barely breathe
It is gathering under my skin
I feel the power underneath
I lay your cold body next to mine
To salute and to regret
Glorious times are standing in line
To grieve and to forget
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
I can no longer believe
In anything that's real
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Old sores rule like a king
Over a paralyzed land
They are fed by a festering spring
Our past is in command
I feel your cold humid hand in mine
It takes two to believe
I need to wash out this prison of mind
So take me to the river
I can no longer believe
In anything that's real
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Take me out of here
I can no longer believe
In anything that's real
I can rely on any song that I play
I can rely on any song that I play
Take me out of here
I can no longer believe
In anything that's real
