Below, you will find the lyrics for River Lea by Adele.
Verse 1
Everybody tells me it's '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
Chorus 1
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, the river lea, the river lea
Yeah i blame it on the river lea, the river lea, the river lea
Verse 2
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 it's years in advance
But i would rather say it now in case i never get the chance
Chorus 2
No 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, the river lea, the river lea
Yeah i blame it on the river lea, the river lea, the river lea
So i blame it on the river lea, the river lea, the river lea
Yeah i blame it on the river lea, the river lea, the river lea
Outro
River lea, river lea
River lea
The river lea-ea-ea
The river lea-ea-ea
The river lea-ea-ea
