On a river so grey That's running much too fast I'm a hostage on my own The air I breathe is stale And I'm planning my escape Without a destination
While I'm embraced by the waters cold I know you're far away Within my fantasy it's new I'm asking for hope in (you)
(You) name my fate I'm lost on the waves without (you) (You) never break I'm lost in the river of you
So my runs very slow just like a flood of tears When they've all dried up That river flows one more and I try to catch a ray of light From the sky at night Will I ever rest my eyes upon your face And you fade again I will never really know if you lost me too I'm asking for hope in (you)
All of my thoughts, all of the words get tangled The waves ride high again Your lips seem close to mine I'm losing hold in the river of (you)
