Met a ghost of a king on the road when I first fell, fire burning To my knees, to my knees I fell Met a ghost of a king on a road Words of fire He said, \"You are a lonely soul With a heart of stone that rakes against your thirsty bones Such a lonely soul\" Said, \"I can show you what can save you, but we need to go Where no chariot can take you Where the river meets the sand There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones And make you well, make you well\"
So I followed the ghost of a king with every step I tried to see beyond for a trace of the riverside But restlessness was my prize And then we came upon a golden shore But the voice of fire wasn't comin' from a ghost no more My heart of stone came alive When my eyes were opened up And I saw that I had come Where no chariot can take you Where the river meets the sand There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones And make you well, make you well
So I knelt beside the river and I drank until, I drank until, I drank until I died
There's something in the water, must have brought me back It brought me back, it brought me back to life
Where no chariot can take you Where the river meets the sand There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones And make you well, well Where no chariot can take you Where the river meets the sand There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones And make you well, make you well
