[Verse 1] All that I have is a river The river is always my home Lord, take me away, for I just cannot stay Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones [Chorus] The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying... [Verse 2] Please help me build a small boat One that'll ride on the flow Where the river runs deep and the larger fish creep I'm glad of what keeps me afloat [Chorus] The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying... [Verse 3] Now deeper the water I sail And faster the current I'm in That each night brings the stars and the song in my heart Is a tune for the journeyman's tale [Chorus] The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying... [Bridge] Now the land that I knew is a dream And the line on the distance grows faint So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver The artist has run out of paint [Verse 4] Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the big yellow sun leads me home I'm everywhere now; the way is a vow To the wind of each breath by and by [Chorus] The water sustains me without even trying The water can't drown me, I'm done With my dying...
