Track No: 07

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 manmade
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
And 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 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
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
River Lea, River Lea
River Lea, River Lea
River Lea, River Lea
River Lea, River Lea
(River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea)
River Lea, River Lea
(River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea)
River Lea, River Lea
