Blue Nile - From Rags To Riches Lyrics
I leave the home of a lifetimeLike any sonI have hope and good intentionsAnd wandering into the daybreakI learn as I goTo fall laughing into the waterSticks and the stones are your broken promisesWe wait too long to go from rags to richesI am in love, I am in love with a feelingA wild wild sky, a wild wild skyFences and tumble down bridges surround and divideI wear a coat of many colours, of many coloursThe sticks and the stones, our broken promisesI wait no longer to go from rags to richesPeople are leaving the squalorThey're leaving the houses and firesAnd starting outWe find the waiting countrySticks and the stones are your broken promisesI wait no longer, I go from rags to richesFrom rags to richesI go from rags to richesGo from rags to richesFrom rags to riches
