River

River, there are no stars in the city Here there is no telephone in the trees Beautiful days all on the water And all I can do is write you a letter River, it's cold here in the morning Later I can see it in your eyes Mild and white, we follow the canyons Quiet at night, we stare at the sky Leaving you now will never change things Running away will just change the view All I can see is the highway All I can see is you River, you'll carry me through the fire Maybe you'll drown me in your arms But if I die like that, it won't be like dying When I rise again, the ashes are gone Leaving you now will never change me Running away will just change the view All I can see is the highway All I can see is you
