Theres blue skies all around me
And the world looks just the same
Its hard to be criminal when you all know my name
Sometimes I wonder, sometimes I wanna be free
Well, you can be king of me and Ill be the queen.

No one listens to me, the words I have to say
There aint no doubt about it, Im just trying to get away
Im going back to the river where no one will find me
Were going back to the river, back to the sea

When I was just a baby, my mama taught me
Girl, you best believe in Jesus if youll make it in the world
Im going back to the river where no one knows my name
We are going back to the river, back to the Seine
Here we go

Theres blue skies all around me
And the world looks just the same
Its hard to be criminal when they all know my name
Sometimes I wonder, sometimes I wanna be free
Well, you can be king of me
And Ill be the queen

No one listens to me, the words I have to say
There aint no doubt about it, Im just fading into gray
Im going back to the river where the devil cant find me
Im going back to the river, back to the sea
