[Verse 1]
I was born by the river, raised by the sea
Baptised in muddy water to drown the devil in me
I'm going back to the river, down to the stream
I'm gonna follow that water and find my dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Where Saint John be waitin' on me
To wash my sins away
Hey, Saint Christopher, pray for me
'Cause, baby, I'm on my way
[Chorus]
Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
Just around the bend
I'll find my rainbow's end
And maybe then I'll know
Where the rivers flow
[Verse 2]
Wait a minute
You know thе gypsy woman told me about a river of gold
Full of dreams for thе asking in the valley of souls
So I called to the captain, "Come on and take my hand
I'm gonna follow that water to the promised land"
[Pre-Chorus]
Where Saint John be waitin' on me
To wash my sins away
Hey, Saint Christopher, pray for me
'Cause, baby, I'm on my way
[Chorus]
Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
Just around the bend
I'll find my rainbow's end
And maybe then I'll know
Where the rivers flow
[Bridge]
Across the bridge of sighs
Oh, go ahead, baby
Cry me a river
[Pre-Chorus]
Over here, baby
Saint John be waitin' on me
To wash my sins away
Hey, Saint Christopher, pray for me
'Cause, baby, I'm on my way
[Chorus]
Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
Just around the bend
I'll find my rainbow's end
Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
Just around the bend
I'll find my rainbow's end
And maybe then I'll know
Where the rivers flow
[Outro]
Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
