Foggy River Songtext
von Stan Ridgway

Originally published on the B-side of the Camouflage single in the United Kingdom.

Your love is colder than a foggy river
Flowin′ o'er a heart of stone
You left me stranded on this foggy river
Driftin′ helpless and alone
I can't escape this broken heart of mine
There's no freedom anymore
Heaven help me on this foggy river
Help me find a distant shore

There′s no tomorrow on this foggy river
Only memories linger on
A mist of sorrow chills this foggy river
Everything I love is gone
Oh, I always knew that someday you′d let me down
I've got troubles, troubles, on my mind
I guess I knew to sail this foggy river
′Til I leave your love behind


spoken:
Yes, this love is colder than a foggy river
It's flowin′ over a heart of stone
You left me here stranded on this foggy river
I'm just driftin′ helpless and alone

Well, I always knew that someday you'd let me down
I've got, I′ve got troubles on my mind
I guess I, I guess I knew to sail this foggy river
′Til I leave your love behind
Until I leave it all behind
Until I leave it behind
Until I leave it be––all behind, yeah,
I'm gonna mow you down
I′m gonna call your name, yes I do
I'm gonna call your name when I do
I′m gonna mow you down
Yes, I'm gonna mow you down
I′m gonna call your name
I'm gonna call your name
Yes I do
When I do
Yeah.
