she never wanted to talk

she never wanted to argue

but that's the way it goes

when there's nobody listening



eyes straight on the frontline

knee deep in the river flow

keep your chin up, keep your back straight

rescue's on the way



always the keeper of secrets

always the source of confusion

but that's the way it goes

when there's nobody listening



eyes straight on the frontline

knee deep on the river flow

keep your chin up, keep your back straight

rescue's on the way



nobody said this was gonna be easy

but i'll tell you what i'm gonna do



can i take you to an oceanside

can i take you to an oceanside

for a few hundred years

i'm telling you you that's all i ever heard about it

can i take you to an oceanside



never a word of intention

never a hope of reunion

but that's the way it goes

when there's nobody listening



eyes straight on the high wire

knee deep in the river flow

keep your chin up, keep your back straight

rescue's on the way



nobody said this was going be easy

but i'll tell you what i'm gonna do



(repeat chorus)
