Mouth of the Delta Lyrics

Standin' at the edge of the water

I feel my soul closin' in

Seekin' some inspiration

To lead me back home again

It's been a long hard winter

On the heels of a summer long drought

We're all in this together

We're all tryin' to figure this out

CHORUS

Ferry me down this river

Carry me through this great divide

Call the saints, hail the sinners

To the place where love runs deep and wide

To the mouth of the delta

Back to square one

The mouth of the delta

Let the sweet forgiveness come

I wanna dig in the richest earth

I wanna bake in the healing sun

I wanna be on sacred ground

When the ghosts of Mississippi come

CHORUS

BRIDGE

My well ain't got no water

I can't see no clouds in sight

But I've got to find salvation

Find my way back home tonight

To the mouth of the delta

Back to square one

The mouth of the delta

Let the sweet, let the sweetness come

CHORUS
