From the recording I'd Like To Leave
Lyrics
I came to the river to wash these sins
Wash them clean from my hands
I’ve lived my life in disguise
Never showing who I am
Because I know that I would hold you down and drown your cries
And you know that if you stay with me, we will never survive
This love.
We’ve shared
I know, I know that it’s not fair
Say now or never
Say now I’m gone
Because now or never
Is much too long
For you to suffer me
I know the heartache will break you down
And for a moment you won’t stand
But passing time will heal the wounds
You’ll find the happiness you can
Because I know that I would hold you down and drown your cries
And you know that if you stay with me, we will never survive
This love.
We’ve shared
I know, I know that it’s not fair
Say now or never
Say now I’m gone
Because now or never
Is much too long
For you to suffer me
