Blackwater Song - Dave Eggar

How will I swim?

Without those limbs?

And then begin to tell the story of the one that threw me in?

Into the river of

Black waters flow

Into the river of

Black waters flow

Down deep below

Where currents tow

Down deep beneath the serene surface of the water

Swallowed whole

Into the river of

Black waters flow

Into the river of

Black waters flow

And who will know

as seasons go

that what is left is sediment upon the banks

where cattails grow

Into the river of

Black waters flow

Into the river of

Black waters flow

What will I say?

To God today?

When only seconds seperate me from the breath of my last day

Into the river of

Black waters flow

Into the river of

Black waters flow

Into the river of

God rest your soul
