Foggy River - Stan Ridgway

Your love is colder than a foggy river

Flowin' o’er a heart of stone

You left me stranded on this foggy river

Driftin' helpless and alone

I can’t escape this broken heart of mine

There’s no freedom anymore

Heaven help me on this foggy river

Help me find a distant shore

There’s no tomorrow on this foggy river

Only memories linger on

A mist of sorrow chills this foggy river

Everything I love is gone

Oh, I always knew that someday you’d let me down

I’ve got troubles, troubles, on my mind

I guess I knew to sail this foggy river

'Til I leave your love behind

Spoken:

Yes, this love is colder than a foggy river

It’s flowin' over a heart of stone

You left me here stranded on this foggy river

I’m just driftin' helpless and alone

Well, I always knew that someday you’d let me down

I’ve got, I’ve got troubles on my mind

I guess I, I guess I knew to sail this foggy river

'Til I leave your love behind

Until I leave it all behind

Until I leave it behind

Until I leave it be--all behind, yeah

I’m gonna mow you down

I’m gonna call your name, yes I do

I’m gonna call your name when I do

I’m gonna mow you down

Yes, I’m gonna mow you down

I’m gonna call your name

I’m gonna call your name

Yes I do

When I do

Yeah
