MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA LYRICS - The River

"The River"



I will fight the spirit

With a sword in my side

She found a way out

Crack my rib

Wait to die

I think I know you best when I sleep

I think I know everything



Me and my brothers

We have tongues sharp as knives

I found a way out

Make a noise, close your eyes

I think I talk to you best when I sing

I sing about almost everything



Oh god I need it

So let me see again

Take me to the river

And let me see again

Oh my god

Let me see again

Oh my god

Let me see again

Let me see again



Grace taught her daughter

Daily on

God how I feel it

Fed her pride to your feet

I'm gonna leave you the first chance I get [4x]



Oh god I need it

I was wrong again

Take me to the river

And make me clean again

Oh my god

Make me clean again

And oh my god

Let me see again
