| There's blue skies all around me
|
| And the world looks just the same
|
| It's hard to be criminal when you all know my name
|
| Sometimes I wander
|
| Sometimes I wanna be free
|
| Well, you can be king of me
|
| And I'll be the queen
|
| No one listens to me
|
| The words I have to say
|
| There ain't no doubt about it
|
| I'm just trying to get away
|
| I'm going back to the river
|
| Where no one will find me
|
| We're going back to the river
|
| Back to the sea
|
| When I was just a baby
|
| My mama taught me, girl
|
| You best believe in Jesus if
|
| You'll make it in the world
|
| I'm going back to the river
|
| Where no one knows my name
|
| We are going back to the river
|
| Back to the Seine
|
| Here we go
|
| There's blue skies all around me
|
| And the world looks just the same
|
| It's hard to be criminal when they all know your name
|
| Sometimes I wander
|
| Sometimes I wanna be free
|
| Well, you can be king of me
|
| And I'll be the queen
|
| No one listens to me
|
| The words I have to say
|
| There ain't no doubt about it
|
| I'm just fading in the gray
|
| I'm going back to the river
|
| Where the devil can't find me
|
| I'm going back to the river
|
| Back to the sea |
