Been traveling these wide roads for so long My heart's been far from you Ten-thousand miles gone Oh, I wanna come near and give ya Every part of me But there is blood on my hands And my lips aren't clean In my darkness I remember Momma's words reoccur to me "Surrender to the good Lord And he'll wipe your slate clean" Take me to your river I wanna go Oh, go on Take me to your river I wanna know Tip me in your smooth waters I go in As a man with many crimes Come up for air As my sins flow down the Jordan Oh, I wanna come near and give ya Every part of me But there is blood on my hands And my lips aren't clean Take me to your river I wanna go Go on, Take me to your river I wanna know I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know Take me to your river I wanna go Lord, please let me know Take me to your river I wanna know
Soul singer: Sam Cooke would be proud. This wasn’t the song that got me here: it’s the one that makes me stay. He’s growing immensely as an artist and it’s a great ride to be on. Saw him for $17 in a small room; what a talent.
Saw Leon too in Worcester Sam cooke with soul stirrers is about as good as it gets. I swear to my ear Leon reminds me of Sam and Michael kiwanuka sounds lot like Otis Redding 🤙🎶 safe travels
