Turn my back, I run from you
Close my eyes, I deny the truth
Still I sail in that old wooden pue
Say my prayers, take my communion
Days go by when my feaith is strong, but Lord those nights, I get too far gone
In my head is a center song, just a hollow hellelujah
Oh, I still believe
Oh, in the promise wide and deep
Love is a river gonna carry me home, no it don't matter where I go
Love is a mountain, I'm a rolling stone
I come round before too long
Love is a river gonna carry me, carry me home
The streets I walk, they're just painted gold
Rain comes down, red turn black as coal
No one here is gonna save my soul
I've gotta make my way back to ya
Oh, I still believe
Oh, you're waiting there for me
Love is a river gonna carry me home, no it don't matter where I go
Love is a mountain, I'm a rolling stone
I come round before too long
Love is a river gonna carry me, carry me home
Just a few more weary days and oh, I'll fly away
Love is a river gonna carry me home, no it don't matter where I go
Love is a mountain, I'm a rolling stone
I come round before too long
Love is a river gonna carry me, love is a river gonna carry me, carry me
Love is a river gonna carry me, carry me home
