Foggy River Lyrics - 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
