Lyrics to Take Me To The River
Lyrics to the song Take Me To The River as recorded by Bryan Ferry.(Green/Hodges) I don't know why I love you like I do After the things that you put me through You stole my money, my cigarettes I haven't seen or heard of you yet I wanna know, won't you tell me I'm love to stay Take me to the river Wash me down She cleans my soul Put my feet on the ground I don't know why you treated me so bad After the things we could have had Love is emotion that I can't forget My sweet sixteen I will never regret Oh wanna know, won't you tell me I'm in love to stay Take me to the river Hold me, love me Please me, tease me Till I can't, till I can I don't know why I love you like I do After the changes you put me through The sixteen candles burn on my wall Then tell me who is the biggest fool of them all I wanna know, won't you tell me Are we in love to stay Take me to the river Take me to the river Take me to the river Walk me to the water Walk me to the water Take me to the river Just walk me on the water Walk me on the water Take me to the river Take me to the river
