You'd better cover your face tonight

someone might take it away

I've been watching with second sight

and I don't like what I see;

there's a shadow over me -



River to river I call your name

waiting for the water to rise

Anything forgotten is all the same

to a lover who lies

to a lover who lies



Now I've got an answer to what you need

but I'll never give it away

For each desire that isn't freed

one thing still remains:

your world is wrapped in chains



River to river I call your name

waiting for the water to rise

Anything forgotten is all the same

to a lover who lies

to a lover who lies



Running lonely here

It's cold and lonely here

I shiver in the night...



I'd better cover my heart tonight

someone might take it away

I've been watching you dress in white

for someone else's touch

and I don't need you that much.



River to river I call your name

waiting for the water to rise

Anything forgotten is all the same

to a lover who lies

to a lover who lies
