By a river   The colours of the land   Emerge before my eyes   Soothing winds that blow my cares away   Through the trees   Call the priest, his wife, his friends, the police   I had to run away   Leave this all behind   Close your eyes   Wan goodbye, goodbye   I didn't see the point   Couldn't take the load   Drift away   Above me a new day's growing old   Bound by the chains of a crippling debt   Slipping through the dreads of a foolproof net   Run away   Far away   Shaped by the laws of deception and greed   Stamped and rejected I beg to be freed   Lose the key   Lose the key   I had to run away   Leave this all behind   Close your eyes   Wan goodbye, goodbye   I didn't see the point   Couldn't take the load   Drift away   Above me a new day's growing old   By a river   The colours of the land   Emerge before my eyes   Soothing winds that blow my cares away   Through the trees
