Lyrics
Sweet Water River
C. Paul Evans Pedersen, Jr./Mount Misery Music, BMI
Ancient, the places that you've been,
Unknown, but to you, where you begin,
Sweet Water River sneaks on by.
Mysterious secret is your age,
A torrent of quiet and of rage,
Sweet Water River bleeds on by.
And so shall you carry me home tonight.
Deliver me home to the sea.
A witness to the ages gone by,
And yet to arrive...
Sweet Water River.
Sweet Water River.
So fertile, this womb that you provide,
You nurture the life that lives inside,
Sweet Water River breaths on by.
Now silent, the mournings of the past,
Your requium frees them all at last,
Sweet Water River laughs and cries.
And so shall you carry me home tonight.
Deliver me home to the sea.
A witness to the ages gone by,
And yet to arrive...
Sweet Water River.
Sweet Water River.
