She moved back around here thirty-five weeks ago today
|
Oh down the lane
|
At night she walks on the banks, and remembers how she
|
Dreamed of rowing away
|
And how she left one day
|
She left with a driven look in her eyes
|
Came back around with it still inside
|
They said give it some time and you'll forget about it too
|
We know they always do
|
Well I know
|
|
Some fine day
|
You will find your way
|
Across the river
|
Row down slow
|
There's a long way to go
|
Across the river
|
|
She was proud and so strong
|
And she tried not to listen to idle talk
|
Downtown where she walked
|
They sit around and they say
|
That she came back with her tail between her legs
|
Like they always said she would
|
|
Well I hear it's better on the other side
|
They say you'll never do it so don't even try
|
Well you may be beaten down with your closed mind
|
But don't try to make it mine
|
Well I know
|
|
Some fine day
|
You will find your way
|
Across the river
|
Row down slow
|
There's a long way to go
|
Across the river
|
|
밳our wild days are through?is what they said
|
I dreamed she came, when I was down and
|
I walked where she led
|
|
Standing on the shore
|
She looks to the west with a look of longing
|
That grass seems greener
|
There's a hard and distant prize
|
It probably won't happen but I think I'll try
|
Well even if it doesn't happen for me
|
It still beats hanging around here
|
Well I know...
