lyrics

There you go, baby
Down the grey river
Finding your way to the sea

Time's getting shorter
And life just gets darker
Brings me to my knees

I've been desperate and down
Run out of town
Such a sad story
Of loving so blindly

Sometimes I'm shameless
Sinful and aimless
Measure it all against me

Blistered and worn
Troubled and torn
And nobody's baby

But I agreed
To suffer so gladly
And I am guilty
Of loving so blindly

Trying to keep steady
Rough, tough and ready
Can't admit I'm lonely

Miserable and mindless
Lacking in kindness
Wilted, weak and weary

I've been desperate and down
Run out of town
Such a sad story
Of loving so blindly

There you go, baby
Down the grey river
Finding your way to the sea
Finding your way back to me
