We don’t want to live in the city no more

We don’t want to lean on the gallery bars
Looking at something that’ll never be ours
We want to be part of the heart of a river
We want to be part of the heart of a river

Looking at something that’ll never be ours
We want to be part of the heart of a river
We want to be part of the heart of a river
We want to be part of the heart of
We want to be part of the heart of
