Lyrics
We turn away
To face the cold
Enduring chill
As the day begs
The night for mercy love
A sun so bright
It leaves no shadows
Only scars
Carved into stone
On the face of earth
The moon is up
And over One Tree Hill
We see the sun
Go down in your eyes
You run like a river
On like a sea
You run like a river
Runs to the sea
And in the world
A heart of darkness
A fire zone
Where poets speak their heart
Then bleed for it
Jara sang his song
A weapon
In the hands of one
Though his blood still cries
From the ground
It runs like a river
Runs to the sea
It runs like a river
To the sea
I don't believe
In painted roses
Or bleeding hearts
While bullets
Rape the night
Of the merciful, ah
I'll see you again
When the stars
Fall from the sky
And the moon
Has turned red
Over One Tree Hill
We run like a river
Runs to the sea
We run like a river
To the sea
And when it's raining
Raining hard
That's when the rain will
Break my heart
Raining, raining
In the heart
Raining in your heart
Raining, raining
To your heart
Raining, raining
Raining, raining
To your heart
Raining ooh, ooh
To your heart
To the sea
Oh, great ocean
Oh, great sea
Run to the ocean
Run to the sea
