River Don't Lie

Heavy is the dirt beneath my fingernails

(mmmm) Dragging my mistakes behind in rusty pails

Every single promise that I tore apart

Is sitting like a stone inside my hollow heart

I'm calling from the shadow

of the cypress tree

Can you hear me now?

Wash my spirit in the muddy stream (wash it clean) Wake me

from this heavy-hearted dream

Take me back to where the water's sweet

Throw my burdens down at your feet (yeah)

There's a long road back to where the light is clear

Walking through the weeds of all my deepest fear

Every step I take is on a broken nail

Hoping that your mercy will at last prevail

Wash my spirit in the muddy stream (wash it clean) Wake me

from this heavy-hearted dream

Take me back to where the water's sweet

Throw my burdens down at

your feet

Just a long road back...

(hmmmm) Just a long road home...
