Lyrics
Oh, sweet May morning Yeah, lying in bed with nothing to say We'll pretend all we wanna Yeah, tomorrow I'll be on my way Sing me a river (sing me a river) Oh, go easy on me, I'm not doing too well Do you hate me, honey (hate me, honey) As much as I hate myself? Heart like a levee (heart like a levee) I swing for the mountains in double-time Is it too heavy, honey? (Is it too heavy, honey?) Did I carry my piece of the fire? Standing in the wake with the sky still changing What's it going to take Oh, to keep you missing this rambling rake with a heart of obsidian? Standing in the wake with the sky still changing Oh, sing me a river (sing me a river) I'm a peach tree jumper with rain in my shoes If you let me, honey (let me, honey) I'll set the world on fire for you Oh, sing me a summer (sing me a summer) Oh, that Cincinnati moon like a wheel in the sky Shows two roads, honey (two roads, honey) Tell me which one leads to mine? Yeah, sing, little sister (sing, little sister) Be patient with me when I don't have a rhyme Will you grieve me, honey? Did I give you a reason to try? Standing in the wake with the sky still changing What's it going to take, oh, to keep you from taking this so serious? I know the dead are raging Standing in the wake, yes I've seen the changes ♪ Yeah, heart like a levee (heart like a levee) I swing for the mountains in double-time Do you hear me running? Did I carry my piece of the fire? Oh, sweet May morning Yeah, lying in bed with nothing to say We'll pretend all we wanna Yeah, tomorrow I'll be on my way Sing me a river (sing me a river) Oh, go easy on me, I'm not doing too well Do you hate me, honey (hate me, honey) As much as I hate myself? Heart like a levee (heart like a levee) I swing for the mountains in double-time Is it too heavy, honey? (Is it too heavy, honey?) Did I carry my piece of the fire?

Standing in the wake with the sky still changing Oh, sing me a river (sing me a river) I'm a peach tree jumper with rain in my shoes If you let me, honey (let me, honey) I'll set the world on fire for you Oh, sing me a summer (sing me a summer) Oh, that Cincinnati moon like a wheel in the sky Shows two roads, honey (two roads, honey) Tell me which one leads to mine?
