River Lea

Everybody tells me it's 'bout time that I moved on That 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 It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain Oh, It's in my roots, in my veins It's 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 would 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 It's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain Oh, It's in my roots, in my veins It's 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 River Lea, River Lea River Lea, River Lea River Lea, River Lea River Lea, River Lea River Lea-ea-ea (the River Lea) River Lea-ea-ea River Lea-ea-ea (the River Lea) River Lea-ea-ea
