All that I have is a river
The river is always my home
Lord, take me aw ay for I just cannot stay
Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones
The water su stains me wi thout even trying
The water can't d rown me, I'm done
With my dyy... ing
Please help me build a small boat
One that'll ride on the fl ow
Where the river runs deep, and the larger fish creep
I'm glad of what keeps me a float
The water su stains me wi thout even trying
The water can't d rown me, I'm done
With my dyy... ing
Now deeper the water I sail
And faster the current I'm in
But each night brings the stars
And the song in my heart
Is a tune for the journeyman's tale
The water su stains me wi thout even trying
The water can't d rown me, I'm done
With my dyy... ing
Now the land that I knew is a dr eam
And the line on the distance grows f aint
So wide is my river, the ho rizon a sliver
The artist has run out of paint
Where the bl ue of the sea meets the sky
And the bi g yellow sun leads me home
I'm everywhere now, the w ay is a vow
To the wind of each breath by and by
The water sus tains me wit hout even trying
The water can't d rown me, I'm done
With my dyy... ing...
