lyrics

Whirlwind of Lovers

I went to the river to pray, to wash my life away
To wash my life away, no longer wished to stay
Out of the depths an angel came to me
An angel came to me saying, I can set you free
Above all this toil and strife, this tyranny
This tyranny, come take my hand and see

And when you’re feeling lonely when you’re feeling sad
Come to the river to wash and pray leave what you have

She took me by the hand and a myriad more behind
A myriad more behind singing this life is mine
A whirlwind of lovers were joining hands
Were joining hands from different lands
Soaring above this planet earth leaving wars behind
Leaving wars behind no boundaries were defined

And then I rubbed my eyes, laying by the bank
Laying by the bank and wondered what I drank
A flock of Starlings swept on by singing in the air
Singing in the air do not despair
What you see and what you get is only in your mind
Only in your mind clouding the sunshine

I went to the river to pray, to wash my life away
To wash my life away, no longer wished to stay
