Singin' low and as I held her by the hand I took her to my favorite part of town Dancin' slow, snakes and roses in the sand On the closest thing I have to holy ground As we kissed and she fell, there's a beauty, somethin' strange This one's the last I've gotta change Take me to the rising river That runs down by your grave Bathe me in your rising river Cause I'm gonna change my ways (I'm gonna change my ways) Take me to the rising river And sing me songs of praise Bathe me in your rising river Cause I'm gonna change my ways (I'm gonna change my ways) Not a sound and as I blew her one last kiss I raised my red hands to the falling sun Staring down every angels eyes were fixed On the cold and holy work that I had done As I crawl to the banks I can feel it in my soul Lord give me strength She made me whole Take me to the rising river That runs down by your grave Bathe me in your rising river Cause I'm gonna change my ways (I'm gonna change my ways) Take me to the rising river And sing me songs of praise Bathe me in your rising river Cause I'm gonna change my ways (I'm gonna change my ways) ♪ Take me to the rising river That runs down by your grave Bathe me in your rising river Cause I'm gonna change my ways Take me to the rising river And sing me songs of praise (Songs of praise) Bathe me in your rising river Cause I'm gonna change my ways (I'm gonna change my ways) ♪ (I'm gonna change my ways) (I'm gonna change my ways)
