The Blue Nile - From Rags To Riches lyrics

rate me

I leave the home of a lifetime Like any son I have hope and good intentions And wandering into the daybreak I learn as I go To fall laughing into the water Sticks and the stones are your broken promises We wait too long to go from rags to riches I am in love, I am in love with a feeling A wild wild sky, a wild wild sky Fences and tumble down bridges surround and divide I wear a coat of many colours, of many colours The sticks and the stones, our broken promises I wait no longer to go from rags to riches People are leaving the squalor They're leaving the houses and fires And starting out We find the waiting country Sticks and the stones are your broken promises I wait no longer, I go from rags to riches From rags to riches I go from rags to riches Go from rags to riches From rags to riches
