Lyrics Nobody Knows My Name - Rickie Lee Jones

Nobody Knows My Name

For a thousand years
I’ve lay upon the Lake Victoria
I was winged and many colored
And nobody knew my name
For a thousand years
I fell out of the sand into Guadeloupe
And I made many songs into the air
And nobody knew my name
I fell like water in sweet gasps of hydrogen
Up the sea over Bikini Islands and I
Dove into liquid concrete of sweet silver lake
The liquid concrete of down by the river
And nobody knew my name
Now, I walk among them and I sing to them
And I open up my wrists and nobody knows my name
And I translate into many hours of history
But nobody knows my name
I stood in the four winds, I stood in the four winds
I stood in the four winds but nobody knows my name
So I walk again, yeah, I walk every night
So I walk again, I look at you, sweet every face
Do you know my name
Do you, do you know my name
Do you know my name
Do you know my name
Say it, do you know my name
Say it, do you know my name
Do you know my name, do you know my
Do you know my name, do you know my, my
