The River

[Verse 1]
There's a secret deep inside
And I can't run and hide
From all the things I miss because of you
In the dead of night we made love
It's all that I can think of
And there's no one in this world for me to turn to

[Chorus]
Sometimes wish you were not there
Dissolve you into air (oh)
Take me to the river out of the rain (oh)
Take me to the river and wash away my pain (oh)
Lead me to your shelter out of the rain

[Verse 2]
We were close to love now, weren't we?
I thought you'd never hurt me
You do the things you promised not to do
I am going down completely
Can't you lift me up? Please rescue me
And it's just another lonely night without you

[Chorus]
Cinnamon crush, far away eyes
North Carolina skies (oh)
Take me to the river out of the rain (oh)
Take me to the river and wash away my pain (oh)
Lead me to your shelter out of the rain (oh)

Sometimes wish you were not there
Dissolve you into air (oh)
Take me to the river out of the rain (oh)
Take me to the river and wash away my pain (oh)
Lead me to your shelter out of the rain

[Bridge]
And the fire burns so slowly
In the houses of the holy

[Chorus]
Sometimes wish you were not there
Dissolve you into air (oh)
Take me to the river out of the rain (oh)
Take me to the river and wash away my pain (oh)
Lead me to your shelter out of the rain

Cinnamon crush, far away eyes
North Carolina skies (oh)
Take me to the river out of the rain (oh)
Take me to the river and wash away my pain (oh)
Lead me to your shelter out of the rain (oh)
