Take me to a rivertown where you can't tell night from day

Everythings forgiven that did not wash away

Where dreaming comes too easy, livings twice as hard

And everything is burried, beneath the water and the stars

Yeah I am from Corsican', wayward on the storm

I've been rolling empty sevens since the day that I was born

I've got no rings upon my fingers, no ink beneath my skin

I'll be as clean going out as I was coming in

I'm gonna wash my sins in the Angilina river

When all that she can take from me, is all that I can give her

And time will bring you down, and time will make you cold

I've turned my back some time ago, and now I'm going home

Well I wondered through the pine trees like an outlaw in the rain

I rambled through big thicket with a pistol and my name

Run away restless angels, don't waste your love on me

Just lay me down in a river town, and home is where I'll be

I'm gonna wash my sins in the Angilina river

When all that she can take from me, is all that I can give her

And time will bring you down, and time will make you cold

I've turned my back some time ago, and now I'm going home

Well take me to the rivertown where you can't tell night from day

Everythings forgiven that did not wash away
