By a River

By a river
The colours of the land
Emerge before my eyes
Soothing winds that blow my cares away
Through the trees
Call the priest, his wife, his friends, the police
I had to run away
Leave this all behind
Close your eyes
Wan goodbye, goodbye
I didn't see the point
Couldn't take the load
Drift away
Above me a new day's growing old
Bound by the chains of a crippling debt
Slipping through the dreads of a foolproof net
Run away
Far away
Shaped by the laws of deception and greed
Stamped and rejected I beg to be freed
Lose the key
Lose the key
I had to run away
Leave this all behind
Close your eyes
Wan goodbye, goodbye
I didn't see the point
Couldn't take the load
Drift away
Above me a new day's growing old
By a river
The colours of the land
Emerge before my eyes
Soothing winds that blow my cares away
Through the trees
