almost real. - Down to the River

Take me down to the river, wash the years off my skin.
Take me down to the river, let the light back in.
I was lost in the dark with a stone for a heart,
Now I'm singing, I'm singing again.
Whoa.
Take me down to the river.
Mmm.
I buried my father in the cold red clay,
Heard the old hymns rise as they lowered him away.
I swore off believing, I swore off the pew,
Then I found a little heaven in the eyes of You.
