Homebound Henry's got a tumor in his head
He wakes up every morning after dreaming he was dead
He used to think that life was boring, but now that's not the case
He turns to his wife in the evening, he says "Honey I'm afraid I'm gonna lose this race."

Sweet river, roll all over me
Sweet river, roll all over me

Soaking wet Juliet, she lives in a well full of tears
Her husband left her for some bimbo after twenty-two years
Now she's got to start all over, but she's just so terrified
She thinks it woulda been so much easier if he woulda just died

Sweet river, roll all over me
Sweet river, roll all over me

And I'm looking out my car window sitting in the pouring rain
Although your house is fifteen miles away, I can still feel your pain
I've thought and prayed and worked it through about a hundred times or more
How your soul just cries to everyone to help you get up off the floor

Right now it's morning, you're probably totally unaware
Of the flood of kisses you hold back by the way that you despair
It ain't me I'm talking about here, or anybody else you can touch
That's all I'm gonna say right now, I don't wanna say too much

Except 
Sweet Jesus, roll all over me
Sweet Jesus, roll all over me
Sweet Jesus, won't You just roll 
You gotta just roll over me, yeah
Sweet Jesus roll
You come down, won't You come down and got me free, yeah
You got me free
