The River

[Verse 1] I watch the moon hang in the sky I feel the traffic rushing by Freight train engine in the night I'm still here, waiting for you [Verse 2] I watch the moon hang in the air I feel the cold breeze in my hair My eyes blind by headlights' glare I'm still here, waiting for you [Verse 3] I take the night train to sky Rising up, I close my eyes The ground beneath me, dead and dry I'm still here, waiting for you [Verse 4] But I won't cry another tear For all the pain we saw last year The river thirsts for those who fear And I'm still here, waiting for you [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] We once walked these streets In search of the unthinkable We tried to be invisible It only made us miserable [Verse 6] I once lost it all In a game that can't be won I took a chance and had to run The river was the only one [Verse 7] Will you leave it all behind? Water rushing through your mind The river's thirst is so unkind But I'm still here, waiting for you
