From Rags To Riches Lyrics - A Walk Across The Rooftops - Blue Nile

I leave the home of a lifetime 

Like any son 

I have hope and good intentions 

And wandering into the daybreak 

I learn as I go 

To fall laughing into the water 

Sticks and the stones are your broken promises 

We wait too long to go from rags to riches 

I am in love, I am in love with a feeling 

A wild wild sky, a wild wild sky 

Fences and tumble down bridges surround and divide 

I wear a coat of many colours, of many colours 

The sticks and the stones, our broken promises 

I wait no longer to go from rags to riches 

People are leaving the squalor 

They're leaving the houses and fires 

And starting out 

We find the waiting country 

Sticks and the stones are your broken promises 

I wait no longer, I go from rags to riches 

From rags to riches 

I go from rags to riches 

Go from rags to riches 

From rags to riches
