Ahh ahh haa
I drank a river in my time
Just to get on through, yeaWell, the night it rise above me
Rise above me
And the blues
They swirl around meTo the heart of soul
You got to bleed a lil' while you sing
Lest the words don't mean nothin', no
Get to the heart of soul
Gotta get to the heart of soul

Try to bend me out of shape
Can't tell me, can't tell me
What to do, a lil' honeyWell, the night it rise above me
