I can't play a love song
Like I told you that I could in days gone by
And you're tired but you're still strong
As you turn through all the pages of old photographs
You smile and then you sigh
And you see diamonds
An ocean full of islands
A forest deep and silent
A moon that's shining bright
If I tell you
That I'll be yours forever
Can we run home together
Like rivers in the light
Like rivers in the light?
I can't sing a love song
Though I told you that I could when we were young
Feels like it's been so long
Just waiting for the moment when our cynicism dies and hope returns
And you'll see diamonds
An ocean full of islands
A forest deep and silent
A moon that's shining bright
If I tell you
That I'll be yours forever
Can we run home together
Like rivers in the light,
Like rivers in the light?
And all the lonely people talking to you
But no one can hear your glory hallelujah
You've no gas to burn and no cards left to play
But I'll raise you diamonds
An ocean full of islands
A forest deep and silent
A moon that's shining bright
If I tell you
That I'll be yours forever
Can we run home together
Like rivers in the light?
And I'll raise you diamonds
An ocean full of islands
A forest deep and silent
A moon that's shining bright
If I tell you
That I'll be yours forever
Can we run home together
Like rivers in the light,
Like rivers in the light?
