Written and composed by Lobo Marino

lyrics

Holy river take me back in time
before the mud, it piled up.
Wind my body tie it up in silk
among the ash and sandalwood

Oh Sadhu you do nothing
but prepare the way
my soul is just a paste you place upon your head
Breathe deeply now a thousand times
the sun will rise before you die
but you already know that you are there

Holy river lap against the stone
it's painted crimson painted gold
Lay the wood to dry upon the rock
The fire burns.
It never stops

Hazy mornings and the misty mountains
far north of here another day.
Men on boats they travel back and forth
and with their calloused hands
they pray and pray

Holy river take me back in time
before the fire became the light.
Wrap me in your quiet waterside.
You are one breath
and so am I
