The River

Lyrics

You say you care for me That means you don't You tell me "open your eyes" That means I won't I keep them closed, baby Closed, closer to my thoughts I keep them safe inside me Where they drown in sorrow I take my heels off And I run like no tomorrow Run, baby, run I'm at the bus stop One pound fifty Takes you anywhere you wanna go Anywhere is fine Where you can find me I thought I had the right to be forgotten Everywhere I go, you're right behind me A bridge and under it, some water Across it, the Houses of Parliament In the river, I throw in my oyster You say you care for me That means you don't You tell me "open your eyes" That means I won't I keep them closed, baby Closed, closer to my thoughts I keep them safe inside me Where they drown in sorrow I take my heels off And I run like no tomorrow Run, baby, run I'm at the bus stop One pound fifty Takes you anywhere you wanna go Anywhere is fine Where you can find me
