[Verse 1] Some things just naturally end, And we’ll never know why. Sometimes the flow takes you back out to sea, Beneath an unanswered sky. Sometimes there are things you never hoped to see, Some things you wish you never knew. Sometimes life will break you, And the wind will carry you. [Pre-Chorus] The wind will take you, The wind will take you Out to sea, Out to sea. [Chorus] Oh river, take me, River, take me where I’m meant to be. Oh river, oh river, Take this pain away from me. Take the things I wish I’d never known, The hurt I cannot bear alone. Oh river, oh river, Carry my pain out to sea. [Verse 2] In the silt and grime, In the silt below, Layers and layers Of things I can’t let go. Some things settle deep, Some things refuse to leave. Oh river, oh river, Take this weight away from me. [Chorus] Oh river, take me, River, take me where I’m meant to be. Oh river, oh river, Take this pain away from me. Take the things I wish I’d never known, The hurt I cannot bear alone. Oh river, oh river, Carry my pain out to sea. [Bridge] Sometimes there are things We wish we’d never known. Take them back, Take them from the place they’ve grown. Carry them out to sea, Give them back, let them go. Take them away from me, Let the current take them home. [Final Chorus] Oh river, take me, River, take me where I’m meant to be. Oh river, oh river, Take this pain away from me. Through the silt and grime, Through the layers underneath, Oh river, oh river, Carry what I need to release. [Outro] The wind will take it, The wind will take it Out to sea, Out to sea. Oh river, oh river, Take my pain away from me.
