Lyrics
I was lost by the river
I felt lost near the river.
And I couldn't find a home
I couldn't find a place to call home.
And I didn't have no, no way to roam
I had no means of travel or direction.
Oh won't somebody hear me, hear me
I'm pleading for someone to listen to me.
Come on, hear me at all
Expressing the desperation to be heard.
Help me, please
A plea for assistance.
I'm just a lonely boy
Describing oneself as lonely and in need.
I ain't got no home
Stating the lack of a home.
I need you so much, darling
Expressing a strong need for someone.
Yeah, I've been wandering
Acknowledging a period of aimless wandering.
Wandering for such a long, long time
Describing a prolonged period of wandering.
Won't somebody
Seeking help from someone.
Please give me peace of mind
Pleading for peace of mind from another person.
Won't somebody hear me at all
Reiterating the plea to be heard.
Hear me at all, set me free
Asking to be set free.
I'm just a lonely boy
Reiterating the loneliness and lack of a home.
I ain't got no home
Restating the absence of a home.
I got no sail, darling, yes
Expressing the absence of a guiding force or direction.
Can't you hear me cry
Pleading to be heard through tears.
