Roll Me Through The Rushes Lyrics by David Lasley

Better Late Than Never

1976

Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Guide me to the new woman who waits
Current, leave me on the banks by the cottage
Where we will dine with silver cups and golden plates
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
I've prepared for my last journey
You know I've worked all my life
To make this basket strong
But a woman alone on a river
She can't stay in the water too long
I've been chilled, I've lost my will
And I've stayed away from rivers much too long
I really must stay in this dirty dirty city
Till I found out that my strength was gone
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
Just like Moses
Make my journey, make it short in space
Let me lose this hardness that I got now, Lord
Water, wash away all traces of hate
I will do what you say
If you just show me how, river
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes just like Moses
Roll me through the rushes like Moses
Roll me through the rushes
Just like Moses on the Nile
River, river (sail)
River, river (sail)
River, river (sail)
River, river (sail)
