“Take me to the river, drop me in the water,
washing me down.
I don’t know why you treat me so bad.
Think of all the things we could have had.
Love is a notion I can’t forget,
My sweet sixteen I would never regret.
I want to know, can you’ll tell me,

push me in the river, dip me in the water.
Washing me down, washing me.
Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I can’t take no more of it”
– Talking Heads (Take Me to the River) | Travel Quote of the Day
