We turned and stared out

On the fields where we once layed

Looked back on them for one last time

Before the storm would break

You cannot stand in the line of fire

I still can hear you say

We won't be going home tonight

Where only the past remains



No, you cannot drink

From the river of stone

No you cannot live

In the shelter of a burned out home

I can almost touch

The times that we once knew

Then the wild and shattered nights

When only the darkness grew

We lost our dreams in a bitter wind

Watched as the fields were burned

We'll hold our heads up high again

When our dreams have been returned



No you cannot drink

From a river of stone

No you cannot live

When you're losing your love



No you cannot drink

From a river of stone

No you cannot live

When you're losing your love (repeat)
