Deep River
Written By: Benton Crane
Album: Midnight
There's a river coming to wash
Wash away all I've got
It's gonna wash away my house
And my identity
But won't you please wash away
The sorrow and the agony
I beg you please, please
I'm begging on my knees
I know who I am, who I'm not
And who I want to be
I've tried to escape my sorrow
And escape my pain
I'm standing in the sun
But it feels like I'm standing in the rain
This river is driving me mad
It's driving me insane
(Chorus)
Deep river, deep river
Where did you go?
Deep river, deep river
How did you know?
Deep water below my feet
And I can hardly swim
Watched from a distance
But not a hand from the fisherman
The fisherman cast his line out
From the dry, dry shore
He knew my name, he knew my face
He's seen me here before
(Chorus)
Deep river, deep river
Where did you go?
Deep river, deep river
How did you know?
