Nobody Knows My Name

  •  

    Rickie Lee Jones


    For a thousand years
    I've lay upon the Lake Victoria
    I was winged and many-colored
    And nobody knew my name

    For a thousand years
    I fell out of the sand into the Guadeloupe
    And I made many songs into the air
    And nobody knew my name

    I fell like water
    In sweet gasps of hydrogen up
    Into the sea over the Bikini Islands
    And I dove into the liquid concrete of sweet silver lake
    The liquid concrete of down by the river
    And nobody knew my name

    Now I walk among them and I sing to them
    And I open up my wrists
    And nobody knows my name

    And I translate into many hours of history
    But nobody knows my name
    I stood in the four winds
    I stood in the four winds
    I stood in the four winds
    And nobody knows my name

    So I walk again
    Yeah, I walk every night
    So I walk again
    I look at you
    Sweet every face
    Do you know my name
    Do you, do you know my name
    Do you know my name
    Do you know my name
    Say it
    Do you know my name
    Say it
    Do you know my name
    Do you know my name
    Do you know my
    Do you know my name
    Do you know my
    My...
