Black Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Close the doors to temptation
Open wide, the gate of love
Don't let them tell u
War is the answer
Search deep inside
For peace of mind
They only want u to see
What they want u to
But you'll be sad & blue
So chase those blues away
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, a, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater
Reminisce
About the good times
Don't let bitterness eat away
Let no resentment
Hold back your future
Have faith in yourself
You'll find away
They only want u to see
What they want u to
But you'll be sad & blue
So chase those blues away
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, a, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, a, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, a, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
Deep in the desert
When the rivers run dry (the river runs dry)
Leaves one man thirsty
Leaves another to die (another to die)
Hold on to your vision to help your friend
Don't u listen to those echoes
Do what u can
Cos u know
U know
They only want u to see
What they want u to
But you'll be sad & blue
So chase those blues away
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, a, oh, oh, oh
(Open) just open your heart
(Your heart) just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, a, oh, oh, oh
(Open) just open your heart
(Your heart) just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, a, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart (open)
Just open your mind (your heart)
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, a, oh, oh, oh
(Open) just open your heart
(Your heart) just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
