Back to the River

作词 : Taylor Momsen/Ben Phillips

作曲 : Taylor Momsen/Ben Phillips

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 wonder, 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 trying to get away

I'm going back to the river where no one will find me

We're 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'll make it in the world"

I'm going back to the river where no one knows my name

We are going back to the river, back to the Seine

Here we go

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 wonder, 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 into gray

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
