The River Songtext
von Delta Goodrem

Preacher, take me down
Take me down to the river, river

It′s not what I had planned
When I was walking in, I didn't know what I′d see
Stepping through the door, their clothes were on the floor
It was something like a bad dream

And in just a blink, before I could think
I didn't know what happened
All I know is this, how could he commit
A crime against our passion?

Oh, the moment that I saw them kiss
Oh, I knew it had to end like this

Preacher, take me down
Take me down to the river, river
I couldn't help myself
When I saw him with her, with her
I took the loaded gun, forgive what I have done
So, preacher, take me down
Take me down to the river, river


(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) river, river
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) river, river

The writing′s on the wall, but it was his fault
How could anybody blame me?
I swear to tell the truth, and if you only knew
I swear, you′d do the same thing

Ooh, if you give me one more chance
Oh, I'll never shoot him down again, so

Preacher, take me down
Take me down to the river, river
I couldn′t help myself
When I saw him with her, with her
I took the loaded gun, forgive what I have done
So, preacher, take me down
Take me down to the river, river

(Whoa-oh) take me down
(Whoa-oh) take me down
(Whoa-oh) take me down
River, river
(Whoa-oh) take me down


Preacher, take me down
Take me down to the river, river
I couldn't help myself
When I saw him with her, with her
I took the loaded gun, forgive what I have done
So, preacher, take me down
Take me down to the river, river

(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) river, river
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) river, river

I took the loaded gun (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Forgive what I have done (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
So, preacher, take me down (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Take me down to the river, river (whoa, whoa, whoa)
