Rickie Lee Jones Nobody Knows My Name lyrics

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 Guadeloupe
And I made many songs into the air
And nobody knew my name

I fell like water in sweet gasps of hydrogen
Up the sea over Bikini Islands and I
Dove into 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 but 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
