Blue Nile
A Walk Across The Rooftops
From Rags To Riches
Thanks to Corvinus@eircom.net for correcting these lyrics.
I leave the home of a lifetime
Like any son
I have hope and good intention
And wandering into the daybreak
I learn as I go
To fall laughing into the water
Sticks and 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 tumbled 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 their houses on fire
And starting out (???)
We'll find the waiting country
Sticks and 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
In the Know
