lyrics

When you’re away, I’m more like myself
Lonely and desperate for something else
But when I’m with you, I’m more like a friend
No need to be careful, no need to pretend

So maybe I’m cured by the banks of your river
I wade in the water until I’m gone
And maybe you’d stay and wash me away
Holy river, giver, gone

Jesus, he cries each time that I speak
of dancing with you, dear, cheek to cheek
‘Cause Jesus, he knows what love is about
It’s giving your life, dear, to a world full of doubt

So maybe I’m cured by the banks of your river
I wade in the water until I’m gone
I wish you would stay and wash me away
Holy river, giver, gone

When you’re away, I’m more like myself.
