Intro

All that I have is a river

 The river is always my home

 Lord, take me away for I just cannot stay

 Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones

 The water sustains me without even trying

 The water can't drown me, I'm done

 With my dyy...ing

Please help me build a small boat

 One that'll ride on the flow

 Where the river runs deep, and the larger fish creep

 I'm glad of what keeps me afloat

 The water sustains me without even trying

 The water can't drown me, I'm done

 With my dyy...ing

Now deeper the water I sail

 And faster the current I'm in

 So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver

 The artist has run out of paint

 The water sustains me without even trying

 The water can't drown me, I'm done

 With my dyy...ing

Where the blue of the sea meets the sky

 And the big yellow sun leads me home

 I'm everywhere now, the way is a vow

 To the wind of each breath by and by

 The water sustains me without even trying

 The water can't drown me, I'm done

 With my dyy...ing
