River Song

I was born by the river
raised by the sea
baptised in muddy eater
to drown the devil in me
I'm going back to the river
down to the streams
I'm gonna follow that water
and find my dream
Where St. John be waiting for me
to wash my sins away
hey St. Christopher pray for me
'Cos baby I'm on my way
where the rivers flow(2x)
just around the bend
I'll find my rainbows end
maybe then I`ll know where the rivers flow
You know the gypsy woman told me
about a river of gold
full of dreams fot the asking
in the valley of souls
So I called the captain
Come on take my hand
I'm gonna follow that water
to the promissed land
Where St. John be waiting for me
to wash my sins away
hey St. Christopher pray for me
'Cos baby I'm on mey way
where the rivers flow(2x)
just around the bend
I`ll find my rainbows end
maybe then I`ll know where the rivers flow
