Lyrics of I Was Born By the River by Hjortur
intro
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
chorus
I was born by the river
On a Sunday night
On a bench in the shine of the moon
The stars were all over shining into my eyes
That was the message
verse
They took me to places
And they showed me the worlds
From the top to the bottom of the seam
They planted the universe
Right into my brain (ooh, ooh)
That was the message
verse
Ooh, ooh
I sent the words to the rest of the worlds
But it didn't really get through (ooh, ooh)
It can be difficult to tell, in a totally
Unknown language
chorus
I was born by the river
On a Sunday night
On a bench in the shine of the moon (ooh, ooh)
The stars were all over, shining into my eyes (ooh, ooh)
That was the message
verse
I sent the words to the rest of the worlds
But it didn't really get through (ooh, ooh)
It can be difficult to tell, in a totally
Unknown language
outro
I was born by the river
I was born by the river
I was born by the river
Writer(s): Hjortur Haraldsson Blondal
