To Be the Thing You Forgot Lyrics by Amelia Ray

ON

2008

[Verse 1]
As far as rivers go, this is a dirty one
As far as people go, you're a nerdy one
[Refrain]
Dirty and nerdy, I’d swim in your river tonight
[Verse 2]
As far as cities go, this is an old one
As far as bedrooms go, this here's a cold one
[Refrain]
Old and cold, I'd swim in your river tonight
[Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
When the rain falls down on these silent streets
And you can’t be found to rock me off to sleep
Oh, lonely, I'm dying, I'd drown in your river tonight
If only you'd come back and make everything alright
[Outro]
Lonely, crying
Lonely, crying
Lonely, crying
Lonely, dying
[Outro]
Lonely, crying
Lonely, crying
Lonely, crying
Lonely
