Follow the River Lyrics

Dark cold and grey November morning,

wet windshield that spells dispair

A ghostly mist that now hangs over the green landscape that's been laid bare

Like a bird you came to me, now like a bird you had to fly

I can see you spread your wings, you turned your head and you said goodbye

Follow the river forever flowing

onwards forever the river sighs

Follow the river to where we know not,

follow the river till it meets the sky

And now I've wandered every lonely road,

you know I've wandered this world the way madmen do

Looking hard into every eye, but I never find the eyes that you've shone through

It's like I carry the weight of the world,

it's like a stone always hanging around my neck

You know I've loved you to hell and back more than life itself and I'm not done yet

Follow the river forever flowing onwards forever through endless time

Follow the river for now I know that I am the river and you are the sky
