River Lea

Everybody tells me it's 'bout time that I moved on And I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young But my heart is a valley, it's so shallow and man made I'm scared to death if I let you in that you'll see I'm just a fake Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch But I know that's just me, 'cause nothing ever is enough When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea There was something in the water, now that something's in me Oh I can't go back, but the reeds are growing out of my fingertips I can't go back to the river But it's in my roots, in my veins In my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain Oh, it's in my roots, in my veins In my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea I should probably tell you now before it's way too late That I never meant to hurt you or to lie straight to your face Consider this my apology, I know it's years in advance But I'd rather say it now in case I never get the chance No, I can't go back, but the reeds are growing out of my fingertips I can't go back to the river But it's in my roots, in my veins In my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain Oh, it's in my roots, in my veins In my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea, oh River Lea River Lea (oh) River Lea River Lea (oh) River Lea River Lea (oh) River Lea River Lea (oh) River Lea The River Lea The River Lea River Lea The River Lea The River Lea
