Wendy - Richard Swift

When I went to river cause the river wouldn’t bend to me

And I saw my reflection but I hated what I seen

The water stood up, she filled my lungs

Spilled out the poison from my blackened tongue

So I love you mother like a newborn son

Wendy do run run, da do run run

You carry my heart though it weighs a ton

Wendy do run run, da do run run

When I went to the city cause the city didn’t know my name (know my name)

Still I saw my reflection and I hated what I seen

The sun came up almost every night

Had a line and a number and a pocket knife

They took my daughters and replaced my wife

So I ran to the river but she turned to the right

So I love you mother like a newborn son

Wendy do run run, da do run run

You carry my heart though it weighs a ton

Wendy do run run, da do run run

So I love you mother like a newborn son

Wendy do run run, da do run run

You carry my heart though it weighs a ton

Wendy do run run, da do run run
