Alan Wren - Mersey Paradise lyrics

River splashes against the rocks And I scale a slope, I hope the tracks won't Lead me down to dark black pits Or places where we fall to bits If she were there I'd hold her down I'll push her under while she drowns And couldn't breathe and call for air She doesn't care for my despair Or is it me? Or the one that's wrong You see it in the sea Liverpool's where I belong In my Mersey paradise As I stare an oil wheel comes Sailing by, and I feel like Growing fins and falling in With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I'll swim along without a care I'm eating sand when I need air You can bet your life I'll meet a pike Who'll wolf me down for tea tonight I want to be (I want to be) Where the drownings are (drownings are) You see it in the sea Liverpool's where I belong In my Mersey paradise I want to be (I want to be) Where the drownings are (drownings are) You see it in the sea Liverpool's where I belong Oh, yeah I want to be (I want to be) Where the drownings are (drownings are) You see it in the sea Liverpool's where I belong In my Mersey paradise
