Lyrics

Come to your river
I will come to your river
I will come to your river

Come to your river, wash my soul
I will come to your river, wash my soul
I will come to your river, wash my soul again

Carry away my dead leaves
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Sink my pains and complains
Let the river take them, River drown them
My ego and my blame let me baptize myself
With the help of your waters
Those all means are so ashamed
Let the river take them, River drown them

Come to your river
I will come to your river
I will come to your river

Come to your river, wash my soul
I will come to your river, wash my soul
I will come to your river, wash my soul again

Carry away my old leaves
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Sink my pains and complains
Let the river take them, River drown them
My ego and my blame let me baptize myself
With the help of your waters
Those all means are so ashamed
Let the river take them, River drown them

Come to your river
I will come to your river
I will come to your river

Come to your river, wash my soul
I will come to your river, wash my soul
I will come to your river, wash my soul again
