As I walked down by the riverside One evening in the spring Heard a long gone song From days gone by Blown in on the great North wind Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry Of sorrow and delight You can hear the cars And the shouts from bars

I can see the stars From America So open your eyes and see The way our horizons meet And all of the lights will lead Into the night with me And I know these scars will bleed But both of our hearts believe All of these stars will guide us home

Sometimes you gotta pick these hoes apart Love 'em with your mind and never with your heart Yeah, I'm shinin', don't you see me from afar? We the type of niggas pull up in new cars She can't wait to fuck a nigga in your squad Real niggas wet your head

Love kills, drills you through your heart Love kills, scars you from the start 'Cause love, love, love won't leave you alone Love can play with your emotions Open invitation to your heart Love don't give no compensation, love don't pay no bills Love

If it's just me, Then it's just me, I'll take the blame, take the shame, walk away, no questions asked Leave the best of me with you and you can leave me in your past No battle cry, no battle scars We're only down one broken heart I guess you're free, if

Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before There is no way you can deny it Chiquitita, tell me the truth Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the
