Riverview Letra

Where I gave you all a night girl could deliver
‘Cause your poetry and soft voice made me quiver
Your skin on my hands too

Off to Paris, or wherever the intellects call
Hey there baby, you know I’ve seen ‘em all
So don’t taunt me with your hazy words and merlot
I’ll be off to Detroit, Michigan tomorrow
And don’t think I’m carrying all that much sorrow
Or that much hope for you

I only get down when my love comes though
I only get down when there’s nothing else to do
Don’t pull me around
I’m a mess
I’m a fool
I’m a seven story wreck
But my love ain’t no lie
It’s just streaming out of check
The one thing I still know is how morning comes around
Out on the riverview

You could paint me the way the kingdom fell
Serenade me ‘bout a world gone straight to hell
Yeah but you won’t ask me who here is in danger
Or who in their own world feels like a stranger
Just get your wine and cheap dope from my manger
Your lips from my ears too

I only get down when my love comes though
I only get down when there’s nothing else to do
Don’t pull me around
I’m a mess
I’m a fool
I’m a seven story wreck
But my love ain’t no lie
It’s just streaming out of check
The one thing I still know is how morning comes around
Out on the riverview

Well now baby, if the wishin’ could make it true
Would my heart be as covered and cold as you?
When I’m pounding on the table ‘til you’ll hold me
And I screamed for what I knew you’d never tell me
I know I took a lot out of you
But I could take a lot too

Like I took in your round face and your cologne
And those scribbled, crumpled notes that I took home
And some other things my heart just won’t condone
Alone on the riverview

I only get down when my love comes though
I only get down when there’s nothing else to do
Don’t pull me around
I’m a mess
I’m a fool
I’m a seven story wreck
But my love ain’t no lie
It’s just streaming out of check
The one thing I still know is how morning comes around
Out on the riverview
