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
