To Be the Thing You Forgot

As far as rivers go, this is a dirty one
As far as people go, you’re a nerdy one
Dirty and nerdy, I’d swim in your river tonight

As far as cities go, this is an old one
As far as bedrooms go, this here’s a cold one
Old and cold, I’d swim in your river tonight

When the rain falls down on these silent streets
And you can’t be found to rock me off to sleep
Lonely, I’m crying, I’d drown in your river tonight
If only you’d come back and make everything alright

©2008 A. Ray. Annabel Is Her Mother Today (ASCAP).
