The River

I'm holding on

To something I don't want

To hold on to

I'm reaching out

For something I can't touch

Although I know I want to

Taking in the scenery

You're the ghost in my machinery

When I was good as gold

I was good as gold

Closing off the avenues

To places that I never knew

And know I'll never know

Now I'll never go

I listen

And I hear you speak

Am I missing something?

I want to jump into the river

Feel it on my skin

But the river is rocks

And I'm already lost

And I know where I've been

Oh, I know where I've been

I feel I'm caught

In a beautiful

Dream

And I'm cold

And my heart has told me

It's a dark seam

Running through the middle of

A life that's full of real love

And everything is mine

Everything is mine

I listen

And I hear you speak

Am I missing something?

I want to jump into the river

Feel it on my skin

But the river is rocks

And I'm already lost

And I know where I've been

Oh, I listen

And I hear you speak

Am I missing something?

I want to jump into the river

Feel it on my skin

But the river is rocks

And I'm already lost

And I know where I've been

Oh, I know where I've been

Yes, I know where I've been
