Come to the River

Give away your own Cover up the scars you carry Sixty feet of stone Underneath the lies we buried Here I'll wait You'll be late Momentary Give away your own Cover up your eyes All the cameras and the satellites Burning up on re-entry Follow me Come to the river Down to the river Water wash me clean Float down the river Run like a river Flood all your machines When it weighs you down like lead You can take your love and leave the rest now Take another page From a book you'll never read Undercover fame All the things you think you need Retrograde Don't be afraid Stay beside me Give away your own Cover up your eyes We can cross the battle lines An armistice of grace It's not too late Come to the river Down to the river Water wash me clean Float down the river Run like a river Flood all your machines When they make you hang your head You can shut it out and keep the rest now Come to the river Down to the river Water wash me clean Like a river Running water Run like a river Like a river To the water Run like a river You feel it in your bones Anything but ordinary It's buzzing like a phone You're on the line but no one's listening Cut both ways Words we say Mercenaries Your cover has been blown Open up your eyes Come on now we're better than These dangerous crazy times Open up your eyes Come to the river Down to the river Water wash me clean Float down the river Run like a river Flood all your machines Forget all that they said When they called us only second best Stand and deliver Over the river Across to you and me
