The River

from Blind Spot by The Lucky Losers

about

Love sometimes looks like it will kill you, but it will really save. You have to let go. Cathy Lemons sings a southern styled rock ballad, complete with some beautiful slide guitar work and some gorgeous honky tonk piano..

lyrics

Well I fell into a river
Strong arms, carried me away
I could not get, back
The river was pounding, around me

I looked up, I saw the same tree
I had clasped, an hour ago
And then I realized, I was in the same place
The river would not let me go

Lord it was me and that river
Comin to save me
Lord I thought, I thought I would surely die, ya

I said lord, please forgive me
And I raised my hand, way up high
I let the current, just take me
To the other side, to the other side

Only a fool would think a river
Would let you sink, like a bag of stones
But I believe, love comes that way
Even when you’d rather, be alone

Lord it was me and that river
Comin to save me
Lord I thought, I thought I would surely die, ya

Well you came and your reached your hand out
Said here I am, take a hold of me
I won’t let you, sink in this ol’ river
I’m comin’ after you, now you take hold of me


Well I heard, the black bird cry
And the gliding the hawk, with its evil eye
But I grabbed your hand, like life itself
Like I could not die, like I could not die

Lord it was me and that river
Comin to save me
Lord I thought, I thought I would surely die, ya
Ooo
Woh
