Blood River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I grew up by the river hudson
Deep and dark as your feet can sink
Stuck inside the project buildings
Where the sun can never look at your face
You have had special something
You could hold the sky with your sound
Well you had the clouds
And you wanted out
So you blew this town
Chorus:
Well I'll just stay right here
Oh boy
Well I'll just stay here
Sing me a song
It's been too long
Just you stay right here
And when I hear that old train whistle sing
I don't bother to look out my window
I know there's no where to run for me
Well our faces
They're all cruddy
From the dust you kicked up with your shoes
Well you had your way
You just couldn't stay
You just couldn't stay
So don't you come round here
Oh boy
Don't you come round here
You left your own blood
Alone in the mud
Don't you come round here
Don't you come round here
Oh boy
Don't you come round here
Well you had your way
You just couldn't stay
Don't you come round here
