Waters Way

Lyrics

If We Dump All Our Sins Onto The Shore
It Runs To The River And Back To My Door
I'd Like To See The Sky At My Window
Never Can Know What Goes With The Flow
Life Was Grand Some Time Ago
But It's Been This Way For As Long As I Know
I'd Love To See The Blue In The Sky
But The Weatherman Says I'm 'bout To Die

The River Runs Black In My Outback
Yeah, The River Runs Black In My Outback, Oh Yeah
The River Runs Black In My Outback
Yeah, The River Runs Black In My Outback, Oh Yeah

God's Light Is Pure In The Water's Way
His Light Is Life In The River's Flow
The Glassy Streams Move Endlessly
Across The Face Of Our Disgrace
And The Water Runs, And The Water Runs

The Water Runs Black In My Outback
Yeah, The River Runs Black In My Outback, Oh Yeah

I'm Walking In The Rain And It Burns My Skin
Running In My Eyes And I Start To Cry
'cause I Know It's My Fault And It's Your Fault Too
For All The Stupid Things We Know We Shouldn't Do
We Have Wasted This Earth And We Can't Turn Away
For The Damage We Have Done, The Innocent Will Pay
We Can Close Our Eyes And Say It Isn't There
While This World Runs Away And We Die In Despair
We Are Drowning In Our Garbage And Filth Our Hands Have Made
And The Money Can't Replace The Price That Must Be Paid
We Have Fallen Short Of Our Duty Here On Earth
We Were Taught To Waste The World, From Our Death To Our Birth
God Has Placed A Price On The Head Of Every Man
All Have Been Made Guilty, To The End Of This Land
Apathy Or Ignorance Won't Turn Our Deeds Away
We Have Loosed The Damage, And Our Deeds Have Gone Astray
From Voltaire To Hitler, Every Ears That's Heard
From Chernobyl To Quindaro, Christ Will Have The Last Word

And The Water Runs Black, Yeah, Yeah
The Water Runs Black
Yeah, The Water Runs Black
The Water Runs Black In My Outback
Yeah, The Water Runs Black In My Outback, Oh Yeah

So Now, Let's Work Together
All Of The Saints Pray For The Weather
Love To See Another Clear Day
All The Saints, On Your Knees To Pray
Petition God, Petition Man
Let's Work Together, Try To Save This Land
Forgive Me, God, For The Sincerity I Lack
But The Water Runs Black In My Outback

The River Runs Black
The River Runs Black
The River Runs Black In My Outback
Oh, The River Runs Black In My Outback, Oh Yeah

In My Outback, Yeah, Yeah
