The River - Delta Goodrem

Preacher, take me down

Take me down the river, river

It’s not what I had planned when I was walking in

I didn’t know what I’d see, stepping through the door

Their clothes were on the floor

Was something like a bad dream

And then in just a blink, before I could think

I didn’t know what happened

All I knew was this

How could he commit, a crime against our passion?

Oh, the moment that I saw them kiss

Oh, I knew it had to end like this

Preacher, take me down

Take me down to the river, river

I couldn’t help myself

When I saw him with her, with her

I took that loaded gun

Forgive what I have done

So preacher, take me down

Take me down the river, river

(river, river)

(river, river)

The writing’s on the wall, but it was his fault

How could anybody blame me

I swear to tell the truth, and if you only knew

I swear, you’d do the same thing

Oh, if you give me one more chance

Oh, I’ll never shoot him down again so…

Preacher, take me down

Take me down to the river, river

I couldn’t help myself

When I saw him with her, with her

I took that loaded gun

Forgive what I have done

So preacher, take me down

Take me down the river, river

Take me down

Take me down

Take me down

River, river

Take me down

Preacher, take me down

Take me down the river, river

I couldn’t help myself

When I saw him with her, with her

I took that loaded gun

Forgive what I have done

So preacher, take me down

Take me down the river, river

(river, river)

(river, river)

I took that loaded gun

Forgive what I have done

So preacher, take me down

Take me down the river, river
