DEEP RIVER

Moon hangs low Time goes slow This Train's bound for Tupelo Give me something To make the pain go Mama's near Daddy's far He went speeding In a stolen car I looked back He was gone in the dark Take me floating down a deep river Let the rain fall softly on me Oh Oh, heal me in the still water Oh Oh, deep river The Water's high The Gator's blind Drags the dead back to life Take my hand Mama on the other side Take me dreaming down a deep river Let the cypress trees shelter me Oh Oh, heal me in the still water Oh Oh, deep river I went to the water To the blue bayou I went to the water looking for you Time Like a snake in the grass Your eyes Watching from the trees Drifting past Oh Oh, heal me in the still water Oh Oh, deep river Oh Oh, heal me in the still water Oh Oh, deep river Mama
