Lift your head in the morning time
By the river, take my hand
Oh take my hand
Leave your little ledge behind
Float here in my arms awhile
In my arms awhile
The water is wide
But blood is thicker still
Kick your boat away from shore
Paddle far out as you dare
Oh as you dare
Slip inside the still lagoon
Gravity won't find you soon
Find you soon
When the water wears you down
Let the current call you home
The water is wide
But blood is thicker still
If your boat fills up with rain
Find me on the banks again
On the banks again
And when the the rising waters crest
Lay your sorrows on my breast
On my breast
When the water wears you down
Let the current call you home
The water is wide
But blood is thicker still
When the evening glitter fades
Drift into the rising shade
The rising shade
Lie beside the silent stream
Listen to the rainbows dream
The rainbows dream
Rest your head when the moon is high
Close your eyes and breathe starlight
Breathe starlight
