James Isaak: Songs

Well I walked down to the river
where I laid myself to rest
for my feet could go no further than the shore
and with a heart hung loose and heavy
like a noose around my neck
I cried out for salvation from the lord.

Can you tell me where I’m going
can you tell me why I’ve been
can you show me how to get back up again
do the pieces fit together or just crumble in the wind
like the river that flows on but doesn’t slow.

So I waited for an answer
while the chill seeped through my skin
and the sky above was murky as my soul
and right there by the river
sure as anything I’ve seen
I saw the sun come out and ease away the cold.

Well I’ve seen the light shining
I’ve seen the light shining
I’ve seen the light shine from up above
Well I’ve seen the light shining
I’ve seen the light shining
and my heart is not as troubled as it was.
