Take Me to the River
Oh won't you come back home
She said cryin' in a broken phone
Nobody answers when she's calling out
This time he'll be long gone
Somehow it came to this
Three little kids and an empty fifth
Lookin' for the words that could make it right
She's too far gone for the fight
Oh don't you blame yourself
Take my advice and push on to the other side
Say take me to the river wash away my sins
I've got the time if you'll take me in
Somehow this water's gonna make me whole
They told me something 'bout saving souls
But all, I know, when you're broken there's a loss of hope
And when life ain't no good you can't change it
At the same time it's only what you make it
Oh don't you come 'round here
His dad said the night he faced his fears
Explaining that the love running through his soul
Ain't the kind of love he knows
Ten years have passed on by
Not one word before his daddy died
Living with the pain of a broken heart
For lovin' who he wanted all along
Oh, don't you blame yourself
Take my advice and push on to the other side
Say take me to the river wash away my sins
I've got the time if you'll take me in
Somehow this water's gonna make me whole
They told me something 'bout saving souls
But all, I know, when you're broken there's a loss of hope
And when life ain't no good you can't change it
At the same time it's only what you make it
I know you tried reading every book you could
You even went to church 'cause you thought you should
If there's a God I think it'd be just fine
If you're a little sad from time to time
You're just the way you were meant to be
Now pick up the pieces for us all to see you
For you
Say take me to the river wash away my sins
I've got the time if you'll take me in
Somehow this water's gonna make me whole
They told me something 'bout saving souls
But all, I know, when you're broken there's a loss of hope
And when life ain't no good you can't change it
At the same time it's only whatchya make it
She said cryin' in a broken phone
Nobody answers when she's calling out
This time he'll be long gone
Somehow it came to this
Three little kids and an empty fifth
Lookin' for the words that could make it right
She's too far gone for the fight
Oh don't you blame yourself
Take my advice and push on to the other side
Say take me to the river wash away my sins
I've got the time if you'll take me in
Somehow this water's gonna make me whole
They told me something 'bout saving souls
But all, I know, when you're broken there's a loss of hope
And when life ain't no good you can't change it
At the same time it's only what you make it
Oh don't you come 'round here
His dad said the night he faced his fears
Explaining that the love running through his soul
Ain't the kind of love he knows
Ten years have passed on by
Not one word before his daddy died
Living with the pain of a broken heart
For lovin' who he wanted all along
Oh, don't you blame yourself
Take my advice and push on to the other side
Say take me to the river wash away my sins
I've got the time if you'll take me in
Somehow this water's gonna make me whole
They told me something 'bout saving souls
But all, I know, when you're broken there's a loss of hope
And when life ain't no good you can't change it
At the same time it's only what you make it

But all, I know, when you're broken there's a loss of hope
And when life ain't no good you can't change it
At the same time it's only whatchya make it
