Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
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
I’m 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’re gonna make it in the world
I’m going back to the river
Where no one knows my name
I’m going back to the river
Back to the Seine
(here we go)
[Verse 2]
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 grey
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
