Nobody Knows My Name

Rickie Lee Jones

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...
