The River - Stacey Q

There’s a secret deep inside

And I can’t run and hide

From all the things I’ll 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

Sometimes wish you’re not there

Dissolve you into air (ohh)

Take me to the river, out of the rain (ohh)

Take me to the river, wash away my pain (ohh)

Lead me to your shelter, out of the rain (ohh)

We were close to love, now, weren’t we?

I thought you’d never hurt me

And do the thing 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

Cinnamon crush, far away eyes, North Carolina skies (ohh)

Take me to the river, out of the rain (ohh)

Take me to the river, wash away my pain (ohh)

Lead me to your shelter, out of the rain (ohh)

Sometimes wish you’re not there

Dissolve you into air (ohh)

Take me to the river, out of the rain (ohh)

Take me to the river, wash away my pain (ohh)

Lead me to your shelter, out of the rain (ohh)

And the fire burns so slowly

In the houses of the holy

Sometimes wish you’re not there

Dissolve you into air

Take me to the river, wash away my pain (ohh)

Lead me to your shelter, out of the rain (ohh)

Cinnamon crush, far away eyes, North Carolina skies (ohh)

Take me to the river, out of the rain (ohh)

Take me to the river, wash away my pain (ohh)

Lead me to your shelter, out of the rain (ohh)
