City of gold, not greedy, not too proud
City of lights in the darkest of times
And I'm on a train from here to a new town
We're moving, I'm moving on, no closer to home
The memories and all of me got washed by the river, it's gone
I couldn't mind any less, it's my favourite river of all
City of hope, where nobody's left out
City of joy, where people are warm
I'm not gonna lie, it's true about other towns
But travel the world, there's no place like home
The memories and all of me got washed by the river, it's gone
I couldn't mind any less, it's my favourite river of all
The memories and all of me got washed by the river, it's gone
I couldn't mind any less, it's my favourite river of all
Bring me back, yes you bring me back
To the old times, to my old shoes
Bring me back, yes you bring me back
Where my heart lies, to my old room
Bring me back, yes you bring me back
To the old times, to my old shoes
Bring me back, yes you bring me back
Where my heart lies, to my old room
The memories and all of me got washed by the river, it's gone
I couldn't mind any less, it's my favourite river of all
The memories and all of me got washed by the river, it's gone
I couldn't mind any less, it's my favourite river of all
Bring me back, yes you bring me back
Where my heart lies, to my old room
