lyrics

Oh lord my heart's so heavy
Take it down to the river
Can't find a soul to forgive me
Let the river wash it away
Lived a life of sex and sin
Take it down to the river
I don't know where to begin
Let the river wash it away

Oh, drop your robes / Slip your naked body into the stream
Oh, let it go / Let the holy water wash you clean

I can feel my temperature risin'
Let me cool you down
I feel like a man on fire
Oh, Let me cool you down
Hallelujah John the Baptist by the River Jordan, Holy Christ
You gotta take me down

Take me down to your river / Lay me down in your river
Take me down to your river / Lay me down in your river
Take me down to your river / Lay me down in your river
Take me down to your river / Lay me down forever

I know I've been misled
Take it down to the river
Can't fight the demons in my head
Let the river wash it away
Forgotten how it feels to be right
Take it down to the river
You keep me warm through the night
Baby let me wash it away

Oh, drop your robes / Slip your naked body into the stream
Oh, let it go / Let the holy water wash you clean

I can feel my temperature risin'
Let me cool you down
I feel like a man on fire
Oh, Let me cool you down
Hallelujah John the Baptist by the River Jordan, Holy Christ
You gotta, ain't you gotta take me down

Take me down to your river / Lay me down in your river
Take me down to your river / Lay me down in your river
Take me down to your river / Lay me down in your river
Take me down to your river / Lay me down forever


Hallelujah John the Baptist by the River Jordan, Holy Christ
You gotta take me down

Take me down to your river / Lay me down in your river
Take me down to your river / Lay me down in your river
Take me down to your river / Lay me down in your river
Take me down to your river / Lay me down forever
