Ophelia - Madeleine Peyroux

There’s a road

In my mind

I’ve been watching

For a long time

Its the muddy Mississippi

And a yellow dandelion

From the Hudson River

To Missouri

In the mosses and red clay

I can feel the rhythm call me

From a thousand miles away

Let me go

Down to the river

Let me wander

Where the world is never mind

Let my heart know

That horizon

Like a mama’s face

To a little child

I was born of the water

And washed onto shore

Been a waif to the seasons

Don’t want to burden them no more

I’ll keep moving for a life time

Be as quiet as the earth

When I listen to the water

I want to know what I’m worth

Let me go

Down to the river

Let me wander

Where the world is never mind

Let my heart know

That horizon

Like a mama’s face

To a little child

I’m a season

I’m a country

I’m a loser and a queen

I’m forever

I’m nobody

In the wandering stream
