Standin by a river on a dark and moonless night
There’s nothin in my desperate life that turns out as it might
I’m cryin for a world I lost a world that can’t be found
I can no sooner bring it back than turn this river round

Our love once was deep n strong as the water at my feet
And if hadn’t done her wrong she’d still be mine to keep
Instead I listen to the fever singing in my blood
Washed away the life I loved surely as the flood


Oh river rollin from the mountains to the sea
You’re cold deep and wide you’re as mighty as can be
Faith will say your waters cleans their souls set them free
It’s gonna take much more than you to wash these sins from me

Our love once was deep n strong as the water at my feet
And if hadn’t done her wrong she’d still be mine to keep
Instead I listen to the fever singing in my blood
Washed away the life I loved surely as the flood


Our love once was deep n strong as the water at my feet
And if hadn’t done her wrong she’d still be mine to keep
Instead I listen to the fever singing in my blood
Pause

It’s gonna take much more than you
To wash these sins from me
