Alabama 3

I wanna go deep down yeh

I wanna go deep down yeh

‘Cause I remember



Met down by the river, the blue moon on the rise

I broke down like Brando moved by your Marilyn Monroe eyes

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, I won’t make a sound

Baptise 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



We got brighter than heaven, Lord yeh, we shone like the stars

I got as … as drunk as Bogart, you were just smokin’ like Bacall

We were diggin’ 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, cos I won’t make a sound

Baptise 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



Now the … the river is frozen, the blue moon is down

My drink has run dry, Lord ya cigarettes gone out

All the diamonds and the pearls, yeh all the silver and the gold

They were all turned to dust, yeh it’s so cold



Singin’ it



Wade into the water with me, wash my body down

Take me to the bottom baby, cos I won’t make a sound

Baptise me like a child, gotta let salvation start

‘Cause if you take me to the bottom of the river baby

I’ll take you, I will take you there



So



Wade into the water with me, wash my body down

Take me to the bottom baby, cos I won’t make a sound

Baptise 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
