Throw me into the water I'm not afraid to begin again To wash away the red red clay Covering my body from the deep deep grave I've been digging through a dark dark hour A low low ditch to build the highest tower There's a blue light upon the ocean floor So I've been diving down to be made pure To be reborn Take me down to the Devil I'm not afraid of a little sin To burn away these dead dead days And pison my sorrow 'til it slips away Out of my heart and out of my hands Through my fingers and onto the land The high tide comes to carry out to sea The hell we raise so we can be cured We can be free Send me down to the bottom of the good earth where I can see Where I can hear the river run clear Cool cool water down to drown my fear Come to see the shore everyone's waiting To be made pure to be redone Come to the shore and jump right in To the blue water where we can sleep And soon begin again
