I was born by the river raised by the sea Baptised in muddy water to drown the devil in me I'm going back to the river down to the stream Im going to follow that water and find my dream Where Saint John be waiting on me To wash my sins away Hey Saint Christopher pray for me 'Cause baby I'm on my way Where the rivers flow Where the rivers flow Just around the bend
I'll find my rainbows end And maybe then I'll know Where the rivers flow You know the gypsy woman told me about a river of gold Full of dreams for the asking in the valley of souls So I called to the captain come on and take my hand I'm going to follow that water to the promised land Across the bridge of silence Go ahead baby cry me a river
