River

[Intro]
...and who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Oh sisters, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
Oh sisters, let's go down
Down to the river to pray

I go down to the river to pray
Study about that good old way

[Verse 1]
I made a mistake
I'll wash it off
They say I'm astray
Am I bitter now?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The words, they turn
They mock me
They peak, they breathe
They haunt me

[Chorus]
I go down to the river to pray
Study about that good old way, I'll wash it off
I go down to the river to pray
Study about that good old way

[Verse 2]
I'm dependable
Until I dissolve
Dirty, black & blue
Callin' after you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Through wounds that grew
Your halos
[?]
They're my witness

[Chorus]
I go down to the river to pray
Study about that good old way (I'll wash it off)
I go down to the river to pray
Study about that good old way
I'll wash it off
