Here I am moving in the outskirts of your dreams
From field with wolves to field with crows
Harvesting sighs before I say goodbye
Here I am taking stock of shivers
Some I could not deliver and I'm spooked by the lonesome river
That's gonna flood these fields before I say goodbye
I'm gonna make it to the hills
You don't think I will
I know you are scared but you can make it too
(Oooh lonesome river)
You were never looking
But I was hiding anyway
Now it seems like you've found me
In the cold light of day
Here I am moving just out of reach
Disguised as a lie or a lie in disguise
I might not even arrive before I say goodbye
I'm trying to find a way to find out things
How to drown the scary crows and the skinny wolves
In the lonesome river before I say goodbye
Who is that silhouette
That slip into your house at night?
A killer or a mysterious stranger you cannot resist?
(Oooh lonesome river)
You were never looking
But I was hiding anyway
Now it seems like you've found me
In the cold light of day
Waiting for the heart to yield,
Waiting for the heart to yield
Waiting for the heart to yield,
Waiting for the heart
Waiting for the heart to yield,
Waiting for the heart to yield
Waiting for the heart to yield,
Waiting for the heart
You try so hard to conceal
That you know exactly how I feel
I know you are able to feel it too
(Oooh lonesome river)
You were never looking
But I was hiding anyway
Now it seems like you've found me
In the cold light of day
You were never looking
But I was hiding anyway
Now it seems like you've found me
In the cold light of day
Here I am crossing the fields again
From dream of sleep to dream of dreams
I'm gonna fish for love by the lonesome river
