Where the River Bends

Verse 1

I woke up in a borrowed town

Every face a stranger's frown

Something in the market stalls

Called me down the narrow halls

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know where I'm going

No I don't know who I'll be

But the drums are softly glowing

And they're pulling something free

Chorus

Take me where the river bends

Take me where the city ends

Take me somewhere I can stand

Empty hands and open land

Take me where the river bends

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh take me

Oh-oh take me

Verse 2

Ten thousand windows burning bright

Ten thousand voices through the night

I held a stranger's hand today

I forgot the words I came to say

Pre-Chorus

And the rain fell like a lesson

On the cobblestones and me

Every question turned to blessing

Every blessing set me free

Chorus

Take me where the river bends

Take me where the city ends

Take me somewhere I can stand

Empty hands and open land

Take me where the river bends

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh take me

Oh-oh take me

Bridge

Rhythm rising rhythm falling

Distant mothers distant calling

I am small I am tall

I am nothing I am all

Chorus

Take me where the river bends

Take me where the city ends

Take me somewhere I can stand

Empty hands and open land

Take me where the river bends

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh take me

Oh-oh take me
