I left home for southern California
A perfect day, a perfect alibi
But in my heart of hearts
I knew it meant nothing
Without you beside me, you're my arrow home
Some nights I lay awake
Saw your tears going crazy
Wild horses running like the wind
There were babies with your eyes
You held them in the arms of mercy
They were miracles to me
But the river runs so fast
You're never in the same place twice
Are you still here inside my bed
Or was it all just in my head?
I used to try my best to make love stronger
To love you more than I love myself
But that was just my way
To hide all the wreckage
Every time I drove my heart right over the edge
But the river runs so fast
You're never in the same place twice
Are you still here inside my bed
Or was it all just in my head?
Crashed out in Deloraine
New York City's blue with rain
You've got my heart shining like cellophane
♪
Still, those years, they went like lightning
Some were thieves and some were dancing
Wrapped in overcoats of heartaches
But the river runs so fast
You're never in the same place twice
Are you still here inside my bed
Or was it all just in my head?
