The river

l watch the moon hang in the sky
l feel the traffic rushing by
Freight train engine in the night
I'm still here waiting for you
l watch the moon hang in the air
l feel the cold breeze through my hair
My eyes blind by headlights glare
I'm still here waiting for you
l take the night train to the sky
Rising up i close my eyes
The ground beneath me dead and dry
But i'm still here waiting for you
l 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
We once walked these streets
In search of the unthinkable
We tried to be invisible
It only made us miserable
l once lost it all
ln a game that can't be won
l took a chance and had to run
The river was the only one
Will you leave It all behind ?
Water brushing through your mind
The river's thirst is so unkind
But i'm still here waiting for you
