Parkinsong duet performed by The Base and Gerald Ganglbauer
Words and music by Norbert Wally
The river I swim is not the river of mercy
The river I’m in is not the river of mercy
I took a swim the other day
To wash away my sins and worries
I washed my hands I washed my face
but I can’t stay in here forever
The river I swim is not the river of mercy
The river I’m in is not the river of mercy
It doesn’t wash away my pains
It doesn’t grant me absolution
When I get out I’ll take the chance
To wash my hands in muddy water
The river I swim is not the river of mercy
The river I’m in is not the river of mercy
I’m gonna swim it after you
Pray you’ll wait out in the ocean
The river I swim is not the river of mercy
The river I’m in is not the river of mercy
