Everybody tells me it’s about time that I moved on
And I need to learn to lighten up and 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 fade
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
Ohhhhh I can’t go back,
But the reeves are growing out of my fingertips
I can’t go back to the river
But it’s in my roots, it’s in my veins
It’s in my blood
And I stain every heart
that I use to heal the pain
It’s in my roots
It’s 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
I should probably tell you now
before it’s way too late
That I never meant to hurt you
or lie straight to your face
Consider this my apology
I know it’s years in advance
But I’d rather say it now
in case I never get the chance
No I can’t go back,
But the reeves are growing out of my fingertips
I can’t go back to the river!
But it’s in my roots, it’s in my veins
It’s in my blood
And I stain every heart
That I use to heal the pain
It’s in my roots, it’s 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
