RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - Nobody Knows My Name

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...
