Intro

Verse

 All that I have is a river

 The river is always my home

 Lord, take me away for I just cannot stay

 Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones

Chorus

 The water sustains me without even trying

 The water can't drown me, I'm done

 With my dyy...ing

 Please help me build a small boat

 One that’ll ride on the flow

 Where the river runs deep

 And the larger fish creep

 I’m glad of what keeps me afloat

 The water sustains me without even trying

 The water can't drown me, I'm done

 With my dyy...ing

 Now deeper the water I sail

 And faster the current I’m in

 That each night brings the stars

 And the song in my heart

 Is a tune for the journeyman’s tale

 The water sustains me without even trying

 The water can't drown me, I'm done

 With my dyy...ing

Bridge

 Now the land that I knew is a dream

 And the line on the distance grows faint

 So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver

 The artist has run out of paint

 Where the blue of the sea meets the sky

 And the big yellow sun leads me home

 I’m everywhere now

 The way is a vow

 To the wind of each breath by and by

 The water sustains me without even trying

 The water can't drown me, I'm done

 With my dyy...ing
