The River

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

I watch the moon hang in the air

I feel the cold breeze in my hair

I'm still here waiting for you

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

But I won't cry another tear

For all the pain we saw last year

The river thirsts for those who fear

I'm still here waiting for you

We once walked these streets

In search for the unthinkable

We tried to be invisible

It only made us miserable

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

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
