Bring you a tale from the pastel fields

Where we ran when we were young

This is a tale from the water meadows

Trying to spread some hope into your heart

It's mixed with happiness - it's mixed with tears

Both life a death are carried in this stream

That open space you could run for miles

Now you don't get so many to the pound



True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia

But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to

That I'll always run to

Won't you join me by the riverbank



Paradise found down by the still waters

Joined in the race to the rainbow's end

No fears no worries just a golden country

Woke at sunrise, went home at sunset



Now life is so critical, life is too cynical

We lose our innocence, we lose our very soul



True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia

But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to

That I'll always run to

True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia

But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to

That I always run to

Won't you join me by the riverbank

Come on and join me by the riverbank
