Wade Into The Water

I wanna go deep down yeah

I wanna go deep down yeah

'Cause I remember

Met down by the river



The blue moon on the rise yeah

I broke down 'at Brando move

By your Marilyn Monroe eyes yeah


We were swimmin' in silver

We were searchin' for gold

And we promised that night

That we would never grow old


And you sang to me

Wade into the water with me

Wash my body down

Take me to the bottom baby

An' I won't make a sound


Baptize me like a child

Let salvation start

'Cause if you take me

To the bottom of the river baby

I'll take you to the bottom of my heart

(Take me down to the river)


We burned brighter than heaven

Lord we we shone like the stars

I got as as drunk as Bogart

You were just smokin' like the call


We were digging for diamonds

We were divin' for pearls

Higher up than the satellites

And out of this world


And you sang to me

Wade into the water with me

Wash my body down

Take me to the bottom baby

'Cause I won't make a sound


Baptize me like a child

Gotta let salvation start

'Cause if you take me

To the bottom of the river baby

I'll take you to the bottom of my heart

(Take me down to the river)



Well now the the river is frozen

The blue moon is down

My drink has run dry

Lord your cigarette's gone out


All the diamonds and the pearls yeah

All the silver and the gold

They were born to the dust yeah

It's so cold


Sing it now

Wade into the water with me

Wash my body down

Take me to the bottom baby

'Cause I won't make a sound


Baptize me like a child

Gotta let salvation start

'Cause if you take me

To the bottom of the river baby

I will take you

I will take you now


S wade into the water with me

Wash my body down

Take me to the bottom baby

'Cause I won't make a sound


Baptize me like a child

Gotta let salvation start

'Cause if you take me

To the bottom of the river baby

I'll take you to the bottom of my heart

(Take me down to the river)


Deep down yeah

Deep down to the bottom

(Take me down to the river)

(Take me down to the river)

(Take me down to the river)
