Dan Hannon - The River lyrics

I fought the spirit with a sword in my side Cheat, what a way out, crack my rib, wait to die I think I know you the best when I sleep I think I know everything Me and my brothers, we have tongues sharp as knives I found a way out, make a noise, close your eyes I think I talk to you best when I sing I sing about almost everything Oh, God I need it So let me sing again Take me to the river And let me see again Oh my God Let me see again Oh my God Let me see again Let me see again Grace taught a debtor Daily I'm strained to be God how I feel it Fetter pride to your feet I'm going to leave you the first chance I get I'm going to leave you the first chance I get I'm going to leave you the first chance I bet I'm going to leave you the first chance I get And oh God, I need it Well I was wrong again Take me to the river And make me clean again Oh my God Make me clean again Oh my God Let me see again
