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
