Cool river wash my tears away
Let your blue waves hide me from the day
It's the only way
Cool river hear my plea
Take me with you
To the sea
To the sea
I've waded knee-high
In troubles not my own
Now that I've got mine
I'm sinking all alone
Cool river wash my tears away
Let your blue waves hide me from the day

It's the only way
Cool river hear my plea
Take me with you
To the sea
To the sea
I have tried praying
To god and his saints on high
But they don't hear me
I'm gonna kiss this world good-bye
Cool river wash my tears away
To the sea to the sea
To the sea to the sea
