River To River Songtext / Lyric

You'd better cover your face tonight
someone might take it away
I've been watching with second sight
and I don't like what I see;
there's a shadow over me -

River to river I call your name
waiting for the water to rise
Anything forgotten is all the same
to a lover who lies
to a lover who lies

Now I've got an answer to what you need
but I'll never give it away
For each desire that isn't freed
one thing still remains:
your world is wrapped in chains

River to river I call your name
waiting for the water to rise
Anything forgotten is all the same
to a lover who lies
to a lover who lies

Running lonely here
It's cold and lonely here
I shiver in the night...

I'd better cover my heart tonight
someone might take it away
I've been watching you dress in white
for someone else's touch
and I don't need you that much.

River to river I call your name
waiting for the water to rise
Anything forgotten is all the same
to a lover who lies
to a lover who lies
