River Lea

River Lea - Adele

Written by：Adele Adkins/Brian Burton

Everybody tells me its 'bout time that I moved on

That I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be young

But my heart is a valley it's so shallow and manmade

I'm scared to death

If I let you in that you'll see I'm just a fake

Sometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touch

But I know that's just me cause nothing ever is enough

When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea

There was something in the water now that something's in me

I can't go back but the reeds are growing out of my fingertips

I can't go back to the River

But it's in my roots in my veins

In my blood and I stain every heart

That I use to heal the pain

It's in my roots in my veins

In my blood and I stain every heart

That I use to heal the pain

So I blame it on the River Lea River Lea River Lea

I blame it on the River Lea River Lea River Lea

I should probably tell you now before it's way too late

That I never meant to hurt you or lie straight to your face

Consider this my apology I know its years in advance

But I would rather say it now in case I never get the chance

I can't go back but the reeds are growing out of my fingertips

I can't go back to the River

But it's in my roots in my veins

In my blood and I stain every heart

That I use to heal the pain

It's in my roots in my veins

In my blood and I stain every heart

That I use to heal the pain

So I blame it on the River Lea River Lea River Lea

I blame it on the River Lea River Lea River Lea

So I blame it on the River lea River lea River lea

I blame it on the River lea River lea River lea

River Lea River Lea

River Lea River Lea

River Lea River Lea

River Lea River Lea

The River Lea lea lea lea

The River Lea lea lea lea

The River Lea lea lea lea

The River Lea lea lea lea
