TO THE RIVER (Mike Gibbins)
[from Archeology CD - recorded 2002 - released U.S. 2002]

Take me to the river and I'll be on my way
I won't be back for dinner 'cause I'll be miles away
She said I was a sinner, I ain't got nothin' to say
And now I must forgive her for being this way

I can't let this go
N-no, I can't let this go
Go away

Take me to the river and I'll be on my way
Take me to the river, take me miles away
Take me to the river, I'll be on my way
Take me to the river, I'll be on my way

I can't let this go
I can't let this go
Go away
Go away

I'm sorry that you feel
I'm sorry you feel this way
I'm sorry that you feel
I'm sorry you feel this way

I'm sorry that you feel
That you want me to leave
I'm sorry that you feel
I've gotta be leaving today

Take me to the river and I'll be on my way
Take me to the river, I'll be miles away

I can't let this go
I can't let this go
Go away
Go away

Oooooooo-oo-oo-oooooh, oooooooooooh
Oooooooo-oo-oo-oooooh, oooooooooooh
Oooooooo-oo-oo-oooooh, oooooooooooh
Oooooooo-oo-oo-oooooh, oooooooooooh

I can't let this go
I can't let this go
Go away
Go away

I'm sorry that you feel
I've gotta be leaving today
I'm sorry that you feel
I've gotta be leaving today
I'm sorry you believe
I've gotta be leaving today
I've gotta be leaving today

Everyone's a winner in their own way
Everyone's a sinner, I've got nothing to say
Everyone's a winner in their own way
So take me to the river and I'll be on my way

I can't let this go
I can't let this go
Go away
Go away

I can't let this go
I can't let this go
Go away
Go away

You know, I can't let this go
No no, I can't let this go
Go away
Go away
