  • I feed on fire and confusion
    Of this crime I'll rid my soul
    Gonna slide on down to the river
    Gonna tell her all

    So I told my troubles to the river
    And I tossed them in the deep
    And I washed my hands in the river
    But the river brings more troubles to me

    I told my troubles to the river
    She shared them with the seas
    She returned them to me doubled
    The river holds no offer of peace

    I can wash this blood from my fingers
    I can wash this stain from my soul
    But I can't wash out your memories
    The river returns them all

    I told my troubles to the river
    She shared them with the deep
    Yeah I told my troubles to the river
    But the river brings them back to me
    Yeah the river brings them back to me
    Yeah the river brings them back to me Writer/s: Tom Mcrae
