Lyrics

Let the River Carry Me

Clouds are gatherin’
It’s getting dark
The rain is coming
Prepare the ark

A river forming
From the tears
Oh, I’m gonna float
On outta here

Oh, let the river carry me
Oh, let the river carry me
Until I’m whole

The current runnin’
Strong and fast
The future’s comin’
From the past

Nothing’s different
And all is changed
Shifting hearts
Lives rearranged

Oh, let the river carry me
Oh, let the river carry me
Until I’m whole

In the stillness
Of the deep
I lay me down
My soul to keep

Rock me gently
And rock me, Light
Hold me steady
Hold me tight

	Well Out Glad this one saw the light of day. Your voices harmonise so well, as so many people have pointed out, i know! Something biblical about this, (probably the mention of the ark!) it would not jar at a gospel gathering, and would sound really good with a crowd singing the chorus i think. Lovely. Thanks.

	Great vocals - as always Lovely singin' ladies! You two can do no vocal wrong. If I was doing this of course I'd have more guitars and a rhythm section from the end of the first verse - but that may not be such a great idea considering how nicely this one turned out. Good one Marty and Big Sis! Best from Oz, Neil Check out my latest song called Closing Down

	LET THE RIVER CARRY ME Nice tune - kinda reminds me of some older Heart music. Great vocal harmonies.
