Everybody tells me
It's 'bout 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
Oh 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
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
River Lea River Lea
River Lea River Lea
River Lea River Lea
River Lea River Lea
The River Lea-Lea-Lea-Lea
The River Lea-Lea-Lea-Lea
The River Lea-Lea-Lea-Lea
