River from Hot Blood by Flavia Capello

Take me down to the river
I gotta wash my hands clean
Seems like it’s been forever
The day that I still knew what’s best for me

Take me down to the water
I gotta wash my sins away
Drag myself to the slaughter
I carry all my faults for what they weigh

It was always me who pulled the trigger
Always me who held the gun
Staring down the barrel’s end
See the damage I’ve done

Clarity is creeping through me
Drowning my false promises in truth
Straining in the wake of their misery
Never knew that fairness could be cruel

It was always me who pulled the trigger
Always me who held the gun
Staring down the barrel’s end
See the damage I’ve done

I had it coming, had it coming for me
I had it coming, had it coming all along
I have been run run running from all the pain I’ve spilled
Coming crashing down on me
I had it coming, had it coming all along

I’m waiting for the rain to rise into a tide
Cause maybe the current can carry away my crimes Bury my debt in the depth of this bed
Swallowed my a riptide

It was always me who pulled the trigger
Always me who held the gun
Staring down the barrel’s end
See the damage I’ve done

I had it coming, had it coming for me
I had it coming, had it coming all along
I have been run run running from all the pain I’ve spilled
Coming crashing down on me
I had it coming, had it coming all along

Take me down to the river, I gotta wash my sins away
